Notes: Here is a steel guitar ending that Allen Shelton frequently played on banjo. It became a part of the Jim & Jesse sound and was used by their later banjo players as well. If you just remember "1-4-1-5-1," you can use this in any major key. The timing is the same as most standard endings; only the chord progression in different.

Notes: This is a right hand fingering excercise. I created this when I noticed that some passages that are index or middle finger oriented were not coming out as neat and clean as thumb-led stuff. All the possible 4-note loopable groupings are written out here. In practice, you want to be able to play these on any strings, not just 1-3.

Notes: The old fiddle tune, the 8th of January arranged for melodic style banjo. The first two breaks are exactly the same, and are in the melodic style with some slight variation on the melody. The third break presents an alternate way to play the melody, in single string style, as well as some more slight variations. Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass backup track.

Notes: In addition to creating melodic style, IMHO in parallel to and independently of Carroll Best and Bobby Thompson, Bill Keith introduced to basic Scruggs style layers of elegance, complexity, and subtlety that had not been heard before he appeared on the stage. Here is one simple example that says it all, the first few measures of the first break in the song “Livin’ on the Mountain,” from Keith and Rooney’s album of the same name. Keith took one of Scruggs’s standard licks, employing a forward-backward roll with a pull-off on the third string, and threw in a subtle twist by pulling off to the fifth string and pivoting to the open third. Compare Keith’s version to Scruggs’s in the tab, and you will get my drift. When I heard this in 1963 or 1964, I realized that Bill Keith had opened new horizons on the banjo.

This was taken from his performance at the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival in 2010, which was posted to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af5kVilTYms He makes a comment that he "Can't play this standing up". It requires very large and/or extremely flexible hands. I can't really play it sitting down.

Notes: Alternate tab and midi available under "All God's Critters". This tab is a combination beginner and intermediate. Very important to have a drop-thumb at least at measure 7. Alternate drop-thumbs are shown, with a link to the Celtic Thunder version, which has a Scruggs style banjo back-up. Also an entertaining Youtube version available @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqm-S9J1s_k. Linked to Gospel Lover's group, although not truly Gospel, it's just inspiring. Includes lyrics.

Notes: This is number 222 in O'Neil's Music of Ireland. It's a simple 3/4 tune mostly in quarter notes. I've "banjoed" it up quite a bit - making it eighth notes everywhere. The tune doesn't sound particularly Irish to start with, but the banjo treatment here really makes it sound like something from the Old West. The process is probably a more conscious attempt to emulate something in modern times that evolved naturally historically. I've rated the difficulty here as beginner despite a small amount of drop-thumbing. I quite like this version, and I hope you do too, but now I have to decide whether this is just the starting point, and whether or not I should continue on with some fancier variations. Cheers!

Notes: This is based on the version on Linda Ronstadt's album of the same name from 2006. As noted in the tab, the banjo can capo at the 2nd fret, allowing the guitar/mandolin to play am and dm for the chords. The tab is missing one of the verses, but it can easily be found on the internet.

Notes: I found that the tab plays a bit fast for the song, and if the relative speed is set somewhere between 72% and 80%, it is much closer to how the song was originally played. Tabbed for a 5 string and a cello banjo played together.

Notes: Breaks to this old warhorse by three of the greats -- and now I know where many of my "original" ideas came from. The exact picking on Stover's break was hard to hear, but I think I came close to capturing it. The chokes up the neck on Scruggs's break should be played with vigor. It probably helps to hear the original recording, which you can find on www.sugarmegs.org. Crowe's break ends on a whimsical statement of the melody, and you can find this concert recording also on sugarmegs.

Notes: An old pop song from the 'teens, Alabama Jubilee. This is great fun to play, and an excellent tune to jam on as the chord progression lends itself well to improvisation. The two breaks presented here are the melody and a variation closely based on the melody. It has some rolls that are kinda difficult to pull off at higher speeds, mainly the "Dixie Breakdown Roll", so practice, of course, is in order. A rarely played gem; teach it to your local jam and you'll have a blast! Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun!

Notes: This version of All My Loving by the Beatles is based on an arrangement by Tom Arri. This version is slightly different from Tom’s arrangement and it contains Harrison’s guitar solo rearranged for banjo. I thought about adding the triplet guitar rhythm to really make it sound like the Beatles, but ended up not adding it because it muddied the arrangement. If you want to hear how the triplets would have changed the arrangement, I left part of it in module 5 of the TablEdit file. Enjoy!

Notes: Here is one break to the jazz super-standard "All Of Me". The rhythm of the melody has been banjo-fied somewhat, though the chords (still open, Bluegrass chords) are authentic, including a flat-five chord. It's still more of a bluegrass take on a jazz tunes more than jazz banjo. Has some Reno in it. Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun!

Notes: All the Blue Bonnets (Are Over the Border) has history dating back to 1820. The song was a march in the Highlands Calvary and was mentioned three times in Laura Ingalls Wilder's books form the Little House on the Prairie series. In 6/8 jig time, it's feasible to use clawhammer to play, and fun, too.

Notes: I posted this example to demonstrate how to make alternate string pull off and alternate string hammer on in TablEdit which are common techniques used in clawhammer playing. In this example I am referring to the banjo rhythm as “bum-pa-di-ty” Alternate pull off (example first string) is indicated by making a fake fretted note: 1. Write 2 (fret 2) on the first string on the “bum” 2. Put a Po(pull off) on it 3. Write 0 on the first string on the “pa” 4. Put the cursor on first “fake” note (2) 5. In the dynamics bar choose ppp. Now it is shown as [2] 0 in TablEdit but when you print the tab the [2] will not be printed. And it will not be sounded on the midi file (all ppp notes are silent). Or if you make a pdf of it, the [2] will not be shown. The alternate hammer on is in the same way. Write a fake unfretted note: 1. Write 0 (fret 2) on the first string on the “bum” 2. Put a Ho (Hammer on) on it 3. Write 2 on the first string on the “pa” 4. Put the cursor on first “fake” note (0) 5. In the dynamics bar choose ppp.

Notes: I was pondering good songs to introduce my students to 3/4 timing. I asked Ira Gitlin, a fabulous teacher and wonderful contributor to the Hangout, and he suggested Amazing Grace. There weren't any tabs here that I liked very much, so I came up with this. The first time through is super simple, and has mostly melody notes with a few fills. The second time through is a little more complicated and incorporates some melodic elements. The third includes a simple vamping backup using closed chord positions.

Notes: This arrangement is based on the sean-nós version sung by the lovely Dolly MacMahon. It's in the key signature of G, but that's misleading because it's sometimes A Dorian (as sung here), or, on the uilleann pipes (same key signature), which sounds less like A Dorian and more like D Mixolydian.

Notes: “And the Cat Came Back The Very Next Day”, from Doc Roberts: I have long been an admirer of Doc’s fiddling. He infuses his rich repertoire of tunes with a distinct bluesy sound characterized by powerful, yet smooth bowing and remarkably clear intonation. First, I learned to play this tune on the fiddle. Eventually I was able to eke out a fair approximation of The Cat. I would dust it off from time to time, but really did not fully commit to it, in part because I didn’t feel fully confident in my fiddling. But of course, it kept coming back, insisting that I give it the attention it deserved, so that now it lays curled up comfortably at the fire amongst the other familiar G tunes. I suppose it became jealous of my time on the banjo, so slyly crept into my clawhammer fingers, where it sits now as a banjo favorite. One of the charms of Doc’s fiddle version, is how the tune wanders in no obvious pattern (at least to me) between what I am labeling the A, B, and C parts. In order to share more easily with others, I play it as AABBCC. A brief bio of Doc Roberts compiled from the internet (Wikipedia and other sources) Dock Philipine Roberts was born in 1898 near Kirksville, Madison County, and learned to play the fiddle at an early age with some help from his older brother Liebert. Doc's and Liebert's musical mentor was the African-American fiddler Owen Walker who was born in 1857, and taught Roberts most of his tunes. After finishing his studies in Berea Roberts married in 1913. In 1925, a talent scout, Dennis Taylor, recruited Roberts along with Welby Toomey and Edgar Boaz as old time recording artists for Gennet Records In early 1927, Roberts recorded with the string band, the "Booker Family". Together with Dick Parman and Ted Chestnut, he formed the Kentucky Thorobreds. They recorded in April 1927 for Paramount. In the fall of 1927, teamed up with Asa Martin as Martin & Roberts. They made their recording debut in May 1928 for the Gennett label. Between 1927-1934, the duo performed at fiddler's conventions, in schoolhouses, on vaudeville stages, and on radio (WHAS in Louisville, Kentucky). Martin & Roberts recorded altogether more than 200 sides on 11 different labels. Later on, with the addition of Doc Roberts' son James, the Fiddlin' Doc Roberts Trio was formed. In 1928, Roberts was hired, through the agency of Bradley Kincaid, by the National Barn Dance radio show in Chicago . He was paid $50 a week. After only two weeks he quit the show and moved back to Kentucky because he was unable to sleep due to the noise of the big city. The Doc Roberts Trio lasted until 1934 when Roberts retired as a recording artist. During the next 4 decades, he continued to make personal appearances and occasional radio works. He died at the age of 81 in his hometown of Richmond. The Cat Came Back: I first heard “The Cat Came Back” as a camp song. The melody in Doc’s version, seemed completely separate from my vague memory of that song, so I didn’t give it much more thought. However, in preparation for this post, I conducted an internet search and quickly discovered 1) The first commercial recording of "The Cat Came Back" was by Fiddlin’ John Carson (OKeh 40119) in April 1924. It doesn’t sound at all like Doc’s version "And The Cat Came Back The Very Next Day", recorded on Gennett 3235 on November 13, 1925. However, the Fiddlin’ John’s version appears directly related the Harry S. Miller Song of 1893: "The Cat Came Back: A Nigger Absurdity." Ouch! The racism that runs through much of American popular culture is revealed again. I don’t like reporting this, but just thought you should know.

Notes: Québécois tune from the Olympia Quebecois session repertoire. From the repertoire of Andres Savoie. We usually start it with the B part. We shorten the B part to 8 measures by skipping the 7th measure but I included it in the tab. In the mp3 file I recorded myself over our Olympia Q session - the mp3 starts midway through the A part and skips the 7th measure of the B part. The key signature for the A part is G and the B part is D. It is usually played very fast. Here is a youtube of Andres Brunet playing it very fast on the fiddle (this video starts on the B part): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IXtOpSCcBM

Notes: Here's a bluegrassy version of this old-time tune, in standard G tuning, a fiery melodic version based loosely on fiddler Stuart Duncan's variations with the Nashville Bluegrass Band. I have tried to keep the melody flowing at all times, adding fill notes while keeping the main notes in the usual places, using slides, syncopation, pinches and pull-offs to keep it in the bluegrass camp.

Notes: I don't play banjo, but I made a solo guitar arrangement of the Bela Fleck banjo (/Jerry Douglas dobro) tune Another Morning. I had seen requests for 'Another Morning Part B' on the forums here, so I thought I'd post the TEF file. ( I'm hoping some kind and more experienced member could easily use Tabledit to cut and paste over to appropriately tuned banjo and clean up, since I'd have no idea! ) For "part B" of this tune, Bela does a variety of counter-melodies/rhythms behind the dobro, which carries the main melody +/- 'chords'. I made a solo guitar practice arrangement ~ capturing the total effect, most of the banjo, and the dobro accent/sustain where needed. I think I captured all the main melodic/rhythmic motifs Bela uses, which can be combined in endless ways over the basic chords/rhythm. I think my arrangement is essentially 'Scruggs-style' rolls, mostly w/a low-profile bassline below, and occasionally more typical 'guitar strum' chords (kind of approximating banjo/bass/'chop' trio). EDIT (8/04/2011): updated w/better approximation of dobro slide @ end of intro.

Notes: This is my banjo solo for the song "Are You Missing Me." It's fairly straight forward, but it does occasionally depart from the typical Scruggs style licks in favor of more melodic lines. When I was making this solo, I tried to think about how I would play if I was playing it with Jim & Jesse. I have never done much with tablature, so I would love to hear what you all think.

Notes: Are You Missing Me is a fine bluegrass standard, written by Ira Louvin and associated with Jim and Jesse. I have tabbed 3 breaks. Note the long tag at the end of the first break; I think I first heard it (or something like it) played by Bobby Thompson. The final D measures at the end of the second break feature one of my original D runs, and you might find it useful. The third break includes some melodic sequences that you can plug into a variety of tunes.

Notes: I do not guarantee this is musically correct and I do not guarantee it is just how I played it in the MP3 I posted. I kept finding myself making little changes as I wrote the tab. I did two versions, one "easy", just to provide the melodies as I play them and one "better" with the left and right hand flourishes and slurs. I tend to really accentuate the down beat notes on this song just to keep the rhythm driving. After all, it's Gospel. Let it preach, I say.

Notes: A great "first tune" for the beginner, well-documented and easy to execute. Uses thumb-and-pinch, then alternating thumb (thumb in-and-out a.k.a. TITM), then mixes them up. One simple roll pattern gives three different endings! This is pretty much how I learned it (without a tab) from Jeff Kimball in 1976. [7/9/14 corrected a few small errors in TEF and PDF.]

Notes: Here's the fiddle/jam standard "Arkansas Traveller", key of D, uncapoed. There are two breaks, the first one going to the banjo and the second one a Reno-ish guitar break, part of which is taken from Jeremy Stephens guitar part on his CD, the "Scarlet Banjo". This could be either an Intermediate or an Expert tab. Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track, as well as a backup banjo track over the Lead Guitar break.

Notes: I arranged a version of this in Gmaj a few years ago, but decided to have a go at arranging it in the original key of Dmaj after our fiddler fell in love with the tune and wanted us to play it ensemble. It is quite difficult to fit as the tune covers two octaves. I have tried to keep the simplicity and spirit of my original arrangement, which I feel was also in the spirit of Jay Ungar's original for fiddle.

Notes: The Time Signature is awry due to Tabwin inexperience. Should be 6/8 Time Signature. Instead, it registers as triplet sixteenths in 2/4. Added the first line of right-hand notation, the way I like to play it.

Notes: This is a transcription of the Andante movement from J.S. Bach's Sonata for solo violin No. 2 in A minor, BWV 1003. The original is in C Major, but I have transposed it to G Major. Not that everything on the banjo needs to be in G Major, of course, but this piece is especially resonant in the banjo's most idiomatic tonal area.

Notes: This is a tune by Jim Reed, one of the BHO's most talented pickers and contributors. Banjo Hell is the name of our campsite at the Appalachian String Band Festival held every summer at Clifftop, West Virginia. I tabbed this out based upon a recorded performance from Jim's CD, Jim Reed, Family and Friends. Jim's banjo is tuned f#DGAD, a tuning that Dock Boggs used once in awhile. I have also seen Jim play this tune with the banjo tuned aDGAD. He never picks anything twice the same way.

Notes: This is my adaptation of Banjo Race from the Sega Genesis video game Earthworm Jim. It appears that I am the first to play this song on the Banjo and leave a record of it online. I've left the tab I made online as a resource for others who wish to do the same. Best of luck and Happy pickin'.

Notes: A rather simplified version of that great Civil War tune "Battle Cry of Freedom", also known as "Rally Round the Flag Boys". It's a clawhammer version in G, but can be played solo in Bb (A#) so capo 3 from G (or tune up 3 frets). To play along with the 2nd South Carolina version Youtube link, play in G, remembering that this version is played on a Minstrel Banjo, and has a more haunting sound to it. I've linked this to the Beginner Clawhammer Group.

Notes: Bay State Bounce is a wonderful melodic tune written by the great Bill Keith, who after Earl Scruggs was the major influence on my playing in the 1960s. Bill plays it in A (capo up 2). Thanks to Bill for clarifying how he plays the B part. It is a tough tune to master, but well worth the effort. You might find, for example, that some of the ideas in the B part can be incorporated into a variety of other tunes.

Notes: Here's a Texas fiddle favorite, "Beaumont Rag". I have it arranged here in my favorite key of F. Labeled "Bluegrass (Scruggs) style, but it's mostly single string and some Reno rolls. There are 2 and a half breaks, the first 2 are adaptions of standard fiddle breaks, with the outro half-break being some doodlings of my own. It might take some convincing to get your jam to do it in F instead of the more common bluegrass keys of D or C, but it's worth it. Has a Texas-ish-style Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun!

Notes: The «deacon from hell» is a french-canadian tune that is very modal going back and forth between major and minor, it is also very crooked. 'Legend has it that Thomas Pomerleau, (the composer of this tune), promised a priest that he would throw his violin into the stove in order to receive absolution. He actually threw his violin into the stove and, having received his absolution, immediately withdrew it ... he had taken the precaution not to light the stove'. I played it here on a Gold Tone cello banjo. Here is link to Pascal Gemme playing it on the fiddle: http://pascalgemme.com/tradquebec/page/2/

Notes: There is a great tab of Eager and Anxious on Banjohangout already. This is the B-part, as played on the Spectrum album. It is different from the live versions and i actually prefer this version. It is slightly more difficult than the one already tabbed out but a bit more fancy too. Also included now is the intro from the Spectrum album. The files are PDF. Update 2/20/14: GP5 file included for B part incl small changes.

Notes: Belles of Blackville was the old-time Tune of the Week for 11/4/16. As played by James Bryan, Alabama fiddler, this clawhammer version is in the uncommon tuning of a Gm variant -- aDGAD, though it's also played in double C tuning. The tune was supposed to have been collected by Pennsylvanian folklorist Samuel P. Bayard in the 1930's from William Morris.

Notes: Along with Earl Scruggs and Bill Keith, Allen Shelton was one of my major influences and inspirations when I was learning to play bluegrass banjo. It was a thrill to see him with Jim and Jesse at the University of Chicago Folk Festival in 1966, where he wowed the audience (and me) with his banjo prowess. Bending the Strings is a clever original piece by Shelton, and one that involves the use of Keith/Scruggs tuners. I read somewhere that he wrote it when he was a teenager, an indication of how talented he was. I have tabbed it so you can play it without D tuners, although I have indicated above the tab the proper moves if you have tuners. The first break resembles the way Shelton played BTS, but it is not note-for-note. The second break is reminiscent of Bill Keith's version and includes some neat ideas. You can find Keith's recording of it on his 1992 CD "Beating Around the Bush," which should be in every bluegrass banjo player's collection.

Notes: This jaunty little original tune is for my fourth grandchild, wee Bern, who is named after my grandfather. It started out as a simple warmup exercise and, without my planning it, morphed into a recognizable tune. I normally play it AAB, and I have provided two versions of the B part for some variety.

Notes: On 14 February 1962, the Osborne Brothers recorded Big Ben (with drums!), an instrumental written by their guitar player, Benny Birchfield. Sonny Osborne and Birchfield played twin banjos on the opening and closing breaks, and each took a solo break as well, of course interspersed with mandolin breaks by Bobby Osborne -- but I can report that there were no drum breaks. My arrangement captures the feel of the original recording, without attempting to be note-for-note, and without the mandolin breaks.

Notes: Here is my version of a classic tune by Bill Monroe and Kenny Baker, normally played in the key of A (capoed up two). The breaks involve a judicious mixture of Scruggs and melodic playing. Pay particular attention to the third break, in which I attempt to capture the feel of Kenny Baker's approach to the tune on the fiddle. Ah, Kenny Baker.

Notes: Tabbed out the intro the way Noam plays it. I've included the right hand fingerwork on important passages, which makes it playable. Not for the fainthearted. Lots of index-finger-above-the-thumb picking. NOTE: I can't get a 5th string capo in GP6, so add 2 frets on the 5th string in the tab. Update 7/13/14: Small update.

Notes: My take on Pikelny's first break on Big Sandy River -- you know, the easy one -- from "Noam Pikelny Plays Kenny Baker Plays Bill Monroe." I emphasize that there are multiple ways to play the same notes, especially on the up-the-neck parts, and I may not have captured the exact way he plays it. This is an exceptionally difficult piece played at a blistering tempo. So buckle up your seat belts. As for his other breaks to BSR: Well, you're on your own. Good luck

Notes: My version is not exactly entirely faithful to the melody. Its saving grace is that it employs a number of my standard licks and hence is, for me at least, relatively easy to play.

Notes: My arrangement of this popular fiddle tune. Influenced by several sources. I don't include fingering because in most case it's obvious and I assume anyone who plays melodics has their preferred ways of getting at the basic formations that come up in this arrangement. I will note that there's some use of middle finger on 2nd string, usually at the top end of a forward roll. In measure 19, for the 3-note backward roll starting on 2nd string I actually use my index finger for both 2nd and 3rd strings. It's non-conventional, but it works for me, especially at the moderate tempo of this tune. You're free to use middle on 2nd for a true 3-finger backward roll, as Tony Trischka and Bela Fleck would. Thank you to Hangout member Sam Parks for letting me use the guitar, mandolin and bass tracks from his TablEdit file. Saved me a lot of time.

Notes: Does the world really need yet another recipe for boiled cabbage? Probably not, but this one offers two versions. The first has a tiny hint of "old time" to it; the second is entirely rolls and, if nothing else, is good for practice. Or you can mix and match them, a bar or two here and there, and see what you come up with. Makes a good "second tune", after "Arkansas Traveler".

Notes: Another version of Bill Cheatham inflicted on the tab archive? Oh, the humanity! Well, this is the way I play it, and perhaps its saving grace is found in the second break, which includes some interesting melodic sequences I heard on a concert tape (recorded at the Birchmere, to be precise) of Bela Fleck when he was with Spectrum. It is tabbed in G, but you probably should capo up 2 to play it in the key of A.

I wanted to see how difficult it would be to play Bill Cheatham in open A--and It didn't go that bad at all ...but I made a few slight banjoistical (new word) :) changes from my original arrangement and added the backup instruments...... Hope you like it.................Lynn

Notes: Tuning gEADE I have made a minor change in the way I play the tune, since my 1978 tab was published. I now play the first two notes as a drop thumb, index on open 1st string, to thumb while fingering the 4th fret on the 2nd string. This change is also at the end of the 4th measure where the phrase repeats. I hope you all will not have trouble with the old Banjo Newsletter tab form in which the numbers appear in the spaces. In my tab, I've corrected the incorrect tuning, in that it was printed backwards in the Banjo Newsletter in 6/78.

Notes: This tune was written by the great Don Stover. I always wanted to play it and then one day I was fooling around and it started to come to me. When I listen to Don's recording on "Things In Life" he plays at lighting speed. It's in G tuning but in the key of c (use C shapes).

Notes: My version of the Skillet Lickers Black-Eyed Susie. It's a work in progress, but sounds good to me, even if I'm not that proficient at it yet. Their version doesn't really follow any ABAB pattern, as such, but I do - I'm simple like that!

Notes: The classic show-piece for fiddle, "Black Mountain Blues/Rag" arranged here for Scruggs/Reno style banjo (capo 2). This piece is difficult at a medium tempo, let alone the burning fast velocity it sounds best (in my opinion) at. The 2nd chorus is an example of Don Reno's continuous roll pattern, which is a forward roll with no breaks until the end of the chorus. Thus it sounds almost too syncopated, and the timing is down with a lot of pull-offs & hammer-ons. I have experimented with a triple pull-off á la Don's "Green Mountain Hop", (which is this same piece albeit in the key of D), to imitate the "crazy" fiddle part (you have to hear the tune to know what I'm talking about). Needless to say it's quite difficult at any tempo! There are a few small single string parts in the first two A sections, which are kinda difficult to pull off cleanly. Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track, as well as a guitar kick-off. Have fun!

Notes: Black Soul Choir by 16 Horsepower. It's based on the live performances found on youtube by David Eugene Edwards, thus altered a bit from the original album track in the chorus section. David plays a two fingered "thumb lead" style, with index finger on the bright D string and thumb for the rest. I really don't know the name for this:/ I haven't copyrighted it in any way, feel free to distribute it, be nice and put in a nice word for me if you do;)

Notes: This is an arrangement of the tune that I've conjured up myself, designed to be more of an exercise than anything, but nevertheless, fun to play and enjoyable to listen to. It begins in G just like normal, but then changes keys to Eb for a verse, then to Bb for a verse, and then back to G. All in open tuning. Enjoy!

Notes: I've put in some fretting-hand fingerings, which I don't normally do. This one is tricky. It's not Old Time, and it's not exactly Bluegrass. But it is a melody, the way I hear and feel it, as a waltz and as a slow air (with rubato). I have added optional fermatas, but these only come into play when one is slowing it way down (not as the country waltz).

Notes: The first elegant melodic break to BB I heard was by Bill Keith on the Zap Records LP “Dobro and Fiddle,” by Kenny Haddock and Billy Baker (one of Monroe’s former fiddlers), released in 1967. He subsequently recorded it with the supergroup Muleskinner, in 1973. Bill’s breaks were delightful and stayed close to the melody, unlike the excursions into banjo noise practised by many of his successors, and they were played at breakneck knuckle-busting speed. For an example of the cleverness of his break, note how he used ascending scales in the first run-through of the A part and then descending scales in the second run-through. Brilliant. Catch the video of Muleskinner on youtube.com, to see a young and bearded Bill Keith playing some outstanding banjo on BB and a bunch of other tunes. The tab I have posted here is pretty close to the way I hear Bill playing it, and I give you two of his endings, the first from the Billy Baker recording and the second from Muleskinner. Note that the backup chord structure can be complex as in the tab and Muleskinner recording, or simple as in the Billy Baker recording. Either way it’s a great tune.

Notes: Blackberry Blossom rearranged to the 6/8 jig rhythm. Bare bones version, strictly following the original melody - usually one of four notes is omitted (I hope I've made the right choices). Just look at the sheet music. The selection of the last D note (low or high) depends on whether you are returning to the same section or continuing to the next one.

Notes: Someone wanted a clawhammer version of this song so I made this arrangement which stays pretty true to the version the Beatles play but in C instead of G (easier to play faithfully on the banjo). It's a banjo version of the guitar part, no melody and since it is a duet with guitar and voice, I didn't indicate the chords. I based it on the original recording from the "white album" which is really titled The Beatles, can't find it on the internet...buy the album, you won't be sorry.

Notes: This is banjo - guitar duet of Paul McCartney's Blackbird. The guitar is from Paul's playing. The interesting is that he uses only 2-finger chords, fretting mostly the second and the fifth string, and uses the open third string as a kind drone. The banjo is a relatively simple 3-finger with mixed forward and backward rolls to match the rhythm of the guitar.

Notes: This is a tune written by Turlough O'Carolan. Sounds nice on a banjo, but I prefer to use a Tenor guitar tuned Irish GDae. This recording is of a converted Flat top 6 string guitar to Tenor. I have 2 PDF files up: 1 in 2/4 and one I transcribed into 4/4.
Hope you enjoy

Notes: Scruggs's break to BRCH is one of his classics. In its deceptive simplicity and elegance it ranks up there with his break to "No Mother or Dad," in my opinion -- it is a break in which he really plays the words. The first break by Scruggs is my attempt to capture his recorded version with Lester Flatt, and the second break is an amalgam of variations I have heard on various radio and concert recordings by Flatt and Scruggs. The next 2 breaks are my own, with some elements based on Bill Keith's playing. Flatt and Scruggs recorded BRCH in B flat; so capo up 3 if you want to play along with the recording.

Notes: This Tune also known as "Spanish Eyes" or "Moon over Naples". Uploaded for the Mariachi Thread started on May 5, (Cinco Di Mayo). Please advise if you see any errors as I only had a chord chart and my ears to go by. The timing may be a little strange in order to keep the Mariachi feel. Thank You Mirek for assisting with this.

Notes: Learned from the playing of Tennessee fiddler, Charlie Acuff, he explained that Bob Taylor ran for governor in 1886 against his own brother. Both played fiddle and this tune (called "The Old Squeaking Fiddle" became re-named in honor of the famous election campaign.

Notes: This unusual version of "Bonaparte's Retreat" comes from Melvin Wine. Unlike other versions, it is in 6/8 time as a jig. Also has an unusual variant of G tuning (gBGBD) capoed at 2nd fret for the key of A (aC#AC#E). Melvin's father wouldn't let him touch his fiddle, but Melvin would play it while his father was away from the house. This is the first tune Melvin played for his father and that convinced him to let young Melvin continue to play his fiddle. Thanks to Carl Baron for clearing up many things about this arrangement. You can Melvin play this tune at Slippery Hill or Bearea archives.

Notes: The trad oldtime version of Bonaparte's Retreat with tabs and recordings for two octaves. The low A part uses a lot of left hand ornamentation, so some may find the high A part easier. For the B part the roles reverse. The high B part requires playing and staying up around the 10th fret compared to the low B part which never leaves first position. For this reason the easiest way to start with the tune is probably mixing the octaves. I’ve included a tab with this mixed configuration along with the tabs that stick to their octaves. No matter what octaves you choose, I recommend trying to stick pretty firmly to a bum-dit-ty pattern with a brush in the “dit.” This tune traditionally used a lot of drones and keeping the patter will help give that impression despite the short sustain of the banjo.

Notes: Here's a tab for William H. Stepp's 1937 version of Bonaparte's Retreat. It's rather different from the older version, being much faster and having an altered melodic structure, but the link is evident with some study and playing it sure is fun. To play the Stepp version on banjo one must use almost exclusively hammer-ons and pull-offs as the tune is a barrage of eighth notes alternating up and down the scale. With some practice it is doable, but it may take a while to get it up to speed. The A part is always the same, sans ornamentation, but there are two versions of the B part. The melodies are the same they are in different octaves (both in first position though). The traditional way of playing it is to play the low B on the first and the high B on the second. Repeat this cycle to the end of the tune.

Notes: Bound for Jasper emerged on a recent long drive home from Canada’s magnificent West Coast, with an overnight stop in Jasper National Park, Alberta. The B Part employs what I have called the “staircase” roll, learned from the playing of Don Stover. As you will see, the structure of the tune is AAB. I dedicate BfJ to the memory of my dear friend Dr. Neil Cowie – anesthesiologist, storyteller, banjo player – who died on 18 June 2016. Goodbye, Old Pal.

Notes: This was composed by Adrian Leroy, whose years were 1520 - 1598. The tuning, gDGBE capoed at the 5th fret, gives you the same tuning as the Renaissance guitar, the instrument it was written for. Of course we have the added advantage of the fifth string, which I used a lot here (see bars 10, 12, and 27). Enjoy!

Notes: Dock Boggs' "Bright Sunny South" from his Folkways recordings. Very easy to play for any old time banjo pickers, with "two fingers & a thumb" (as Dock said). I have the tab in f#–C#–F#–B–C# tuning, which is the actual tuning Dock used, just G-modal down a half step

Notes: "Bright Sunny South," based on the version by Dock Boggs, but presented here in thumb lead 2 finger picking style. I included the right hand fingering for the first part of the tune. Basically, the index finger plays the 1st string, and the thumb plays all others. My version of this tune is constantly changing. I use variations of this style through different verses, sometimes even including thumb/index pinched notes rather than rolls. The tuning is gDGCD.

Notes: Brimstone Rock by 16 Horsepower. Tab consists of bits and pieces of the song. As they differ a lot throughout the song I thought it better to tab out the different pieces separately. Make your own variations and mix it up a bit :) Its a great song, especially the intro part, Have fun with it!

Notes: This is open G capoed at the 2nd fret to give you aEAC#E. The tune is a polka and is very commonly played at Irish sessions and is a pretty easy one for beginners. You do have to be able to do drop thumbing.

Notes: Capo 2. This is a basic Scruggs version of the frailing style heard on the 'Cherish the Ladies' CD. It is the same song sung by Andy Stewart as noted below: http://www.chivalry.com/cantaria/lyrics/broom-cowdenknowes.html Notes from Andy M. Stewart: This song is easily traceable back to the early seventeenth century where it appears in a small collection as "The Lovely Northerne Lass." Allan Ramsay also published a version in his "Tea Table Miscellany", during the 1720s. It is a moving tale of love, banishment and exile, supported by a very beautiful melody. Cowdenknowes is in Berwickshire, near to the village of Earlston, a place much associated with the 13th century poet and prophet, "Thomas The Rhymer". I got this song years ago, from my friend and neighbour, Archie Fisher. This example of "The Broom of the Cowdenknowes" is performed by Andy M. Stewart with Silly Wizard on the albums Wild and Beautiful and The Best of Silly Wizard, both available from the Chivalry Music store Please refer to Cantaria's Copyright information Copyright Information The purpose of Cantaria is to be an educational resource for aspiring bards and minstrels.

Notes: GuitarPro is squirrely about capoing the fifth. No matter what the tab says, this tune is played in standard tuning, capo 2, fifth string capoed 4. It shows the fifth string being fretted at the fourth, but it's not.

Notes: Used a tab on here to convert to G tuning with the D tuned down to a C used by the band in the video. Added Bass tab ( have no idea how to do the guitar and mandolin). Experimented some to try to get the tab of the braying mule and the alternating walkup measures to sound like Douglas' version. Also used repeated measures to try to keep pace with Rod's comic delay...to be able to play along somewhat with the video. No guarantee of accuracy, but it kinda works. If you have corrections send them to me...I'll fix it.

Notes: Here is a Celtic fingerstyle setting using Double D tuning (Double C-Capo II) for the Old Time reel that goes under interchangeable titles. The titles create confusion since there are two main branches in Old Time and further regional, local and bluegrass variants. The A Part is pretty close in most versions with one noticeable variation – either dipping down to an A-note or rising up to F# in the second and sixth measures. (Here I dip down to the A-note in the sixth measure.) This variation is found in both Old Time and Bluegrass versions and a G chord is sometimes played in these spots (as I do here). It’s in the B Part (fifth and sixth measures) where the melodic contour branches in one of two directions – either dipping down from the fifth (A) to the tonic (D)/D chord, or, as Paul Warren played it (New Five Cents), using a G-note double-stop with a B-note)/G chord, then up to an A-note/A chord and moving upwards happily in major second intervals. Many (but not all) Old Time versions (‘New Five Cents’, ‘Ruffled Drawers’ or ‘Buffalo Nickel’) tend to keep dipping down to the low D-note/D chord and use fewer chords than Bluegrass versions which are based on Paul Warren’s version. This setting uses a lot of fretting-hand ornamentation and makes for a lovely hornpipe.

Notes: Transcribed from Earl's rendition on Foggy Mountain Banjo. It's not exact, but I think it's extremely close. Includes solos and backup. I set the metronome pretty slow so I can play along. To play at Earl's speed, set the Tabledit tempo (CTRL-K or CMD-K) to 288.

Notes: According to thesession.org, this tune comes from the mid 1700s when England was actively stomping out the culture of the Scottish Highlands. Sheet music is available at http://thesession.org/tunes/ According to http://www.nigelgatherer.com/whistle/tut_8/8-4.html: "The English general Cumberland received the sobriquet 'Butcher' after the defeat of the Jacobite forces of Bonnie Prince Charlie at Culloden in 1746, such was the savagery of his reprisals and cruelty toward prisoners of the engagement. In the aftermath of the rising a series of laws were passed which aimed to suppress the Highland culture and break forever the power of the ancient clans in order to prevent any such rebellion from again happening. Thus, highland dress and the wearing of clan tartan was prohibited on pain of death, arms were banned, and, attesting to the power of traditional music to evoke emotion, pipers were outlawed. In fact, reports Williamson, the kilt continued to be prohibited until 1782, forcing the Highlanders to wear trews. Any clergyman who did not pray in church expressly for George of Hanover could be transported for life, and those who attended such services were liable to fine and imprisonment. This was in force till 1792. The Burning of the Piper's Hut probably refers to these times."

Notes: This is a nifty fiddle tune written by Tommy Jackson, the major session player on the fiddle in Nashville during the 1950s and 60s. The tune works really well on the banjo in a relatively painless melodic style. I first heard it played by Alan Munde under the title "Banjalin," on his 1977 album with Sam Bush (Together Again for the First Time). More recently I discovered an unreleased version by Bill Keith from around 1963. The first break is my own arrangement of Busy Fingers. The second break is similar to one of Alan Munde's.

Notes: Byss-Calle (his real name was Carl Bössa) lived around 1800 and he wrote several tunes for nyckelharpa (key harp or key fiddle). This is one of them - a socalled slängpolska which is a dance very popular from around 1700 - 1850. Slängpolska is in 3/4 but often built up of 1/16 notes.

Notes: Based upon Norm Edmunds version: http://slippery-hill.com/M-K/AEAE/Callahan-Edmonds.mp3. This is crooked and I don't know how to represent that in Tab - so where I hear the extra notes, I've added a note in the tab. Just play right through that and it should work out. Capo or tune to A.

Notes: In memory of Bill Keith, whose recording of Duke Ellington’s Caravan on his 1976 album “Something Auld, Something Newgrass” introduced the tune to the world of bluegrass banjo and gob-smacked me when I first heard it. The tab is based on Keith’s arrangement, and it is mostly the way I have played Caravan for the last few decades. It is not a note-for-note copy of Keith’s version, but I did include a number of his nifty ideas, or at least my interpretation of them, that are worth examining. Note that in live performance Keith would start the tune with some appropriate noodling, and I have included a fragment in the tab. Note also that the Intro includes the banjo’s alternating between G7 and Ab Dim, whereas the backing instruments alternated between G7 and Ab7 throughout Part A of the tune. Finally, in his Outro to the tune Keith used a Keith tuner on the 4th string to go from D to C. If you don’t have a Keith tuner on your 4th string, you can just end it with a C note on the 2nd string 1st fret.

Notes: This is a note for note transcription of how Bill Keith played this tune on David Grisman's "Early Dawg" album. All lead breaks and backup are included. The tab is written such that you can follow along with the recording. Adjust settings so that chords are displayed as letter names only, and tab is displayed at 4 bars per line.

Notes: My arrangement of this traditional folk song, which has been recorded by pickers as diverse as Pete Seeger and Earl Scruggs. The first and third breaks should be played slowly, in the chordal style employing triplets, and you will probably need to employ the MIDI function on TablEdit to hear what they should sound like, because they way they look in tablature does not resemble how they sound. I like to play the second break at a faster tempo, and the contrast between the slow and fast breaks makes a more interesting arrangement, I think. The tablature shows the arrangement in drop C tuning, although it could be played just as easily in standard G tuning.

Notes: Similar to the rendition on my recording for Complete Book of Irish & Celtic 5-String Banjo, and in my BHO Music Files. Note fretting-hand fingerings: index (i), middle (m), ring (r), and pinky (p) fingers. I could have used (l) for little finger, but it looks too much like the "i" for index, so I opted for "p" (pinky).

Notes: This is one of two songs (the other is “And the Angels Sing”) that seem to transport me to a place beyond time and space. A place where the only things that exist are the melody, the love of my life and little old dysfunctional me. “Oh, how we danced on the night we were wed...” While I started with a MusicXML file that someone else wrote tweaking the melody for playing on the banjo is not point-and-click easy. I did the best I could. Hope you enjoy it. More importantly, I hope someone finds it useful enough to take to the next level. The MP3 was generated from the TAB - my playing is terrible...

Notes: Here is an old jazz or swing tune that fits well in bluegrass. I had previously posted the banjo tab, and now I have updated with the backing guitar tab. You can play it slow and easy or, if the spirit moves you, at a faster pace.

Notes: I've always like this tune and have try to make it a part of every set that I preform. This version is mostly melodic with single on the second breaks, both A and B. I have adapted it to my own style but have remained pretty true to the fiddle melody. I hope you can learn from this tab and add Cherokee Shuffle to your list of tunes...Be Well...peace

Notes: The Nashville fiddler Tommy Jackson wrote Cherokee Shuffle, and it has become a staple for bluegrass banjo players. For reasons lost in the foggy mists of time, my band Silver Spring (in Vancouver, B.C., mid-1970s) changed the E minor to an E major and renamed it Cherokee Strut -- and note that the tune is typically played in the key of A; thus we are talking F# minor and F# major. My tab includes 2 breaks, the first in conventional 3-finger style and the second incorporating more melodic sequences. This was how I played more than 15 years before Bill Keith released his terrific arrangement. The structure of the tune is AABB.

Notes: Another classic instrumental by Bill Monroe. Although I have tabbed this out in G, you should capo up 3, so that the A part is in Gm (not Em) and the B part is in Bb (not G). Speaking of the B part, it is my interpretation of Bill Keith's superb break on the album "The David Grisman Rounder Compact Disc." Although it is probably not note-for-note, the tab is a relatively close approximation of Bill's break, and there is lots of great stuff in it. The A part is my version, and it is improvisational, as are the fiddle and mandolin breaks you will hear played in Cheyenne.

Notes: For those who prefer Chicago Tuning I made this chart for chord shapes up the neck to the 12th fret for your basic jazz era repertoire. It includes as many 4 note chord voicing as I thought worked but I am no expert. I skipped most open chords to keep it simpler learning the movable shapes which you can transpose easy. It is organized by chord function so you can work with some substitutions as might fit chord solos or just regular accompaniment.

Notes: There are two completely different tunes called Chinquapin Hunting that are doing the rounds. Back in 2009 I uploaded a tab for the 2 part tune in D and this is the other one, a wonderfully unsquare three parter in A. It is actually only the 1st part that is unsquare, although none of it sounds very straight on first hearing. Capo II for the correct pitch. There is a rip roaring version of this by Bruce Molsky and pals on YouTube here: http://youtu.be/TYS7xyNW8Mc Enjoy...

Notes: I wrote this after the birth of my first child, in the 1970s. "Katy Hill" was the starting point for the tune, and I wanted to see how far I could depart from the original without getting too crazy. I used to play it in Vancouver, British Columbia, with my band Silver Spring, named after the delightful local beer we drank at practices. The Silver Spring Brewery (of Victoria, B.C.) was eventually bought by Labatt's, and the beer morphed into Lucky Lager, decidedly a step down from Silver Spring. But I digress ...

Notes: Here's a fiddle tune for the banjo, Cincinnati Rag. There's a little bit of cross-picking (crossing one right-hand finger over another) to accommodate the melody. The descending part over the "A" chord in the first section is also kinda hard. This version goes to an E-minor chord one time in the second part. This is the way Kenny Baker (among a few others) played it. I label this "Scruggs" style, but there is also melodic & single string in there.

Notes: This is a great tune that I am surprised more people don't play. My arrangement is based on Bobby Hicks's outstanding fiddle break on Herschel Sizemore's recording "Back in Business." You should play this thing at a good pace; the tab is at a tempo of 240. Pay attention to the A chord in the first break, measures 12 and 13, which I based on Lee Marcus's tab that is no longer available on BHO. I based the A to D passages in the second break, measures 36-38 and 44-47, on a break of Sonny Osborne's that I heard many years ago -- "I Know What It Means to Be Lonesome" perhaps.

Notes: I wrote this because our church building didn't have a bell tower. I heard similar chimes off an old Pete Stanley number. It is played in a lot of chords so should be easy for a begginer to play after a bit. I usually play it faster than it is tabbed here.

Notes: Not exactly the way Ralph Stanley played it, but an accessible and enjoyable way to get acquainted with a great, familiar tune. It's in the key of G Dorian, so there is one flat (Bb) in the key signature rather than the more conventional one sharp (F#).

Notes: A really easy way to break into "Sawmill" tuning (2d string raised to C) and have a nice tune to play. Nothing fancy here, just an accessible, good-sounding song. The key is actually G Dorian, so there is one flat (Bb) in the key signature rather than the more conventional one sharp (F#).

Notes: As I hear it, CMB is really a clawhammer tune that Ralph Stanley played 3-finger style, for whatever reason. To achieve that Stanley sound, emphasize the 3-0 pulloff on the first string, as in the second and later measures. (The rest of the arrangement is my own). Incidentally, a very nice version of CMB was recorded by the Kentucky Colonels on their classic album "Appalachian Swing," featuring sublime rhythm and lead guitar by the one-and-only Clarence White. Note that the only tricky bit is measures 21 and 30, where the time signature changes to 2/4 just for those 2 measures -- this is the "backstep."

Notes: This is wonderful version of Clinch Mountain Backstep from the playing of John Apfelthaler. Visit John's BHO page to the video of him playing it. It starts with a down the neck arrangement, followed by melodic and up the neck arrangements, and closes out with two more down the neck arrangements. It is packed from one end to the other with interesting licks and ideas, but remains true to the original tune. I think this tab is very close to a fret for fret transcription. But be aware of one point. The fourth bar of the B section of Clinch Mountain backstep changes time signature to 6/4. When tabbing I couldn't get that to work with John's melodic arrangement. I contacted John who was kind enough to tell me that in his enthusiasm he had played through that part in 4/4. He was also kind enough to advise me how to correct the small error. So the tab won't quite match John's playing at that point in the tune. So follow the tab - particularly if you're playing it with other musicians.

Notes: The version of Cluck Old Hen that most bluegrass players are familiar with is probably Ron Block's. Here is a rather different version that I heard years ago on a tape somebody made of Bill Keith. Bill's version is close to the 1927 recording by The Hillbillies. The chord structure can pretty much be what you want to make of it, and I have included one interpretation in the tab.

Notes: Based on Boggs version. Intro is abbreviated and the timing is off. I took a little liberty with the arrangement, but it's pretty true to Boggs. Open G, 3-finger.

Notes: Dock Boggs' "Coke Oven March", also on a Field Recorder's Collective CD ("Dock Boggs Recordings From Reed Martin") as "Banjo Chimes". Tuning is "Graveyard" Open-D tuning, f#DF#AD. The notes at the 12th fret are harmonics (chimes). Not too easy and not too hard. A great old time three finger piece.

Notes: CFM is a lovely traditional tune. I heard it played by Frontline, a band from the Pacific Northwest of the U.S. that sadly is no more. Dale Williams was their excellent banjo player, and my version overlaps a bit with his. I have included a few variations, to show what can be done with the tune. It is in A minor, played out of standard G tuning and capoed up two.

Notes: This is another "he played his fiddle for the last time, and then they hanged him" tune. The banjo is tuned to open D (aDF#AD), which as we all know, is sometimes called Graveyard Tuning. How appropriate.

Notes: Tuning is double D (aDADE). Legend has it that Coleman played it on his guitar as he was sitting on his coffin while being carted away to the noose in the 1880s, having been wrongfully accused by his live-in sister-in-law of murdering his wife.

Notes: I have this exact tab recorded note-for-note in the BHO music files, played to a piano backing track so that I could put in bass movement and chords in order for the syncopated figures to be heard against the normal downbeats and strong beats. I also play this with a considerable amount of swing (bounce) which gives the tune an even more syncopated feeling. This is a cakewalk, similar to ragtime, though it could be sped up and played as a driving breakdown. Playing tip: as tempo increases, the more the bounce (degree of swing) tends to even out. The focus here is to demonstrate syncopation and accenting in Scruggs-style picking. Big thanks to Taj Mahal for this lovely tune.

Notes: Played in G min. This version, while not played often, gives the tune that deep dark lonesome sound and makes the story even better. Nothing about prison is happy so I choose the minor sound to give it reality...The Chorus banjo break can be a bit difficult at first. I wrote the part as close to the melody as possible with a jazzy feel to compliment the break ....Just keep the timing in mind and it will fall in place...Be Well...peace

Notes: Fun tune, common at sessions. There are some tricky techniques needed to play this melodic clawhammer style. In particular, I am using a lot of m-marppegios, the ones in the B-part are totally fun to play, but the ones in the A-part are trickier, because you have to prepare to drop-thumb too. As I said, the tune is lots of fun, so enjoy!

The right hand fingering is a bit tricky in the B part as it chops and changes about a lot, but I have included the right hand fingering in all the places where one might come unstuck. It's bound to drive you mad! Again, credit has to go to Mike Stangland, from whose tab I have adapted this. Guitar tab is included too. Have fun! Martin

Notes: My source was "The Old-Time Fiddler's Repertory - 245 Traditional Tunes", Compiled and edited by R.P. Christeson. This arrangement is fairly true to the fiddler's transcription, except in the 2nd and 6th full measures of the B-part where I added some notes and chords to make the quarter and half notes sound more interesting. I also changed the time signature from 2/4 to cut-time. Fun, fairly easy piece to play. Note that this is the fiddle tune and not the song from "O Brother Where Art Thou?" Cheers!

Notes: Dock Boggs' "Country Blues", from his original 1927 recording (he also recorded a similar version for Folkways in the 1960's). One of the finest old-time banjo & singing records ever. This is his second break to the tune (slightly more audible than the first break, which is probably the same). Tuning is D-Modal low bass, f#CGAD. A fairly quick old time number. Not too hard, and not too easy, either.

Notes: Based on Dock Boggs Folkways recording. f#CGAD, about a half-step low on the recording. He adds/omits square rolls in a couple of places throughout the song.

Notes: "Country Blues," based on the playing of Dock Boggs. This is the main bit I use to accompany my singing. I have several variations (some subtle, some not so subtle) I play for instrumental breaks, which I hope to commit to tablature. Feel free to play with the timing--add an extra beat or so here and there. Or cut some short. Have fun with it. Play it fast or slow--it all sounds great! Measures 5, 11, and 14 contain a figure that consists of a hammer on and plucked note sounding simultaneously. You may omit either one. They are the same note, so it will sound fine. Measures 9 and 18 also contain a simultaneous hammer on and plucked note. You may omit the plucked note. Additionally, I often slide into the notes at the 5th fret, 4th string, such as those in measures 5, 11, 13, and 17 (sometimes more, sometimes less). The style is Dock Boggs' 3-finger up picking. The index finger plays the 2nd string, the middle finger plays the 1st string, and the thumb plays the 3rd, 4th, and 5th strings. The melody is spread across the main strings, and the drone is used more sparingly. The tuning is f#CGAD.

Notes: This tab is my interpretation of how Bill Keith played the tune on the "Bill Keith and Jim Collier" album. The tab is written such that you can follow along with the record. Note that the first half of the second banjo solo appears to have been overdubbed using a banjo with a capo at the 6th fret (& 11th fret for the 5th string). However, this tab was written such that one can play the entire tune without a capo. See the notes on the last page of the tab for more info. Adjust settings so that chords are displayed as letter names only and tab is displayed at 4 bars per line.

Notes: Here is the Don Reno banjo tune "Crazy Finger Blues". I believe Don "invented" the unique tuning used for the song, g#EG#BC#, or open D ("Reuben") tuning up a whole step with the 1st string lowered. It's a fun, pretty simple & fairly easy banjo tune that is impressive. The "Crazy Finger" part is almost slap-your-self-in-the-forehead easy. But it sounds hard. I've also included most of the other variations Don does in the tune. Be sure to check out the original recording by Reno & Smiley; it's great! For the part where the banjo & the fiddle split the break, just barre @ the 12th for the E chord, 5th for the A chord, & 7th for the B chord, & it's thumb —index/middle on the 3rd and 2nd/1st strings, played to the rhythm of the song. An excellent "Jam" tune. Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun!

Notes: Yet another version of Cripple Creek! Well, I find Cripple Creek to be an effective tune in jams, and always fun to play. This is the way that I play it in concert, and you might find some ideas here that you can use in other tunes as well.

Notes: I have tried to accurately transcribe the playing of Alan Bryant on the Nashville Bluegrass Band's recording of this song [on their album "Twenty Year Blues"] although there are a couple of places where I remain unsure of exactly what he played [bars 28 & 29 being one!]. Most of it is bona fide though, I would say, with a melodic A part and single string B part. A great medium paced tune with lovely cascading melodies. Enjoy!

Notes: Another gem written by Bill Monroe. As I remember the story, Monroe told Lamar Grier, his banjo player in the mid-1960s, "This will be a good tune for you." Grier reportedly did not like CtC, because it is played at a loping pace slower than most banjo instrumentals and does not employ any of the standard banjo rolls or licks. Personally I think it better suited to the fiddle than the banjo or mandolin, but a good banjo player can still do an excellent job on it. Butch Robins's arrangement in G minor tuning is simply outstanding, and I have tabbed out my interpretation of it. Don't shy away from G minor tuning, which in my opinion works better with CtC than the major tuning. You will find that this is a haunting melody, and you can make it work for you (as Mr. Bill said).

Notes: I rated this tune for intermediate because there are a couple of drop thumb notes. These can be handled with hammer-ons instead.

Notes: My arrangement features a judicious mixing of forward rolls and backward rolls. Pay particular attention to this in the second break, the last section of which (the slide up the fifth fret of the first string) is pretty similar to a break of Earl Scruggs's on a concert recording of Flatt and Scruggs. The tag after that section is my own. It is worthwhile to incorporate backward rolls -- typically M-I-T with a first-string lead -- into your playing, because they add extra tension and interest, in my opinion.

Notes: "The Cuckoo," based on recordings by Clarence Ashley. The song begins with an index finger rake across the four main strings, followed by thumbed 5th string. I open with the instrumental break and play this bit between each verse. During the verse, the banjo plays a sort of riff rather than strict melody. Clawhammer, gDGCD.

Notes: Dock Boggs' "Cumberland Gap". There are two tabs here, the first is from his Folkways recordings, and the second is from "Dock Boggs Recordings From Reed Martin", on Field Recorders Collective. The first is a spry, very well played version with lots of energy and is Dock's unique three-finger style at it's best. The second is much slower, and can almost be played with two fingers, and is much easier. Tuning is "Cumberland Gap" D-tuning, f#BEAD.

Notes: This is a note for note transcription of how Earl Scruggs played this tune on the "Foggy Mountain Banjo" album. All lead breaks and backup are included. The tab is written such that you can follow along with the recording. Chords are notional, i.e. not necessarily exactly what the banjo is playing at any given moment, but what I think the basic chords are for the general tune, for each bar. Adjust settings so that chords are displayed as letter names only and tab is displayed at 4 bars per line.

Notes: Here are 5 licks that you can use for a G-D-G turnaround. The first 4 are originals of mine. The first employs a chordal approach. The second substitutes a Bb chord for the D, to provide a kind of bluesy effect that is unexpected and punchy. The third is one of my default licks, which I have used in a variety of tunes. The fourth I have also used in many tunes, including "Are You Missing Me," which you can hear on my BHO page, at http://www.banjohangout.org/myhangout/media-player/audio_player2.asp?musicid=9864&archived= I have to tell you that for years I struggled with tabbing the correct timing on this one, and the solution came to me while I was sleeping -- I kid you not. The last one is a wonderful Bill Emerson lick. It is constructed beautifully, and I feel a sense of peace and oneness with the universe when I hear it. Okay, perhaps that's overstating it somewhat. But it is a great lick, which is anchored in the repetitive use of the C note, the flatted 7th, on the second string, with the melody notes doing a lovely walk up the first string.

Notes: Melodic banjo version of a fantastic fiddle tune. Thanks must go to Mike Stangland for his great guitar tab (also included here), from which the banjo tab has been created. I have put the key as Bb (Capo III - G shapes), as it is in this key that Bryan Sutton plays it and Stuart Duncan appears to cope ok on the fiddle! I hope you enjoy it.

Notes: Dance Around Molly is a nice old fiddle tune, made known by Tommy Magness (who played with Bill Monroe and later with Roy Acuff in the 40's, and on Grand Ole Opry). This tab represents several different styles: 1) Some kind of old-time melodic three-finger playing almost all notes as the fiddle plays. There is two variants of the first part (part A): first a high version and then a lower version down the neck version. In the fiddle recording part A is the low part which start on the low notes (fourth string on the fiddle) and goes up, but to play all the notes I chose to go up one octave. In the variation I cheat away the low notes. 2) Some kind of Scruggs style. 3) Clawhammer Choose whatever style you like.

Notes: I tabbed this from an old Michael Martin Murphey recording. It makes for a really nice, upbeat old-timey tune if you or someone else accompanies it with the sung lyrics.

Notes: Dock Boggs "Danville Girl", from his original 1927 recording. The actual tuning is eCFGC, which is D-modal (f#DGAD) down a whole-step. Not a difficult tune, with simple three finger rolls. A great old-time three-finger tune.

Notes: 2-4-1 Happy Hour. Two different versions of Ralph Stanley's version of Daybreak in Dixie. One is from the original Mercury recording and the other is the one where he added a chord into the mix. Here are some links for reference to the two versions, Have fun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBigCLwiXH8 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJmCa_lfiMQ

Notes: This is a mandolin tune written by Bill Napier when he was with the Stanley Brothers, who recorded it first as Daybreak in Dixie and later as Ralph's Banjo Special. To make matters even murkier, they recorded it once again as Daybreak in Dixie but with a slightly different chord progression in the A part. Whatever, it is a nice tune that works well in jams. I have tabbed it in G, but you should capo up 2 to A (because it was written on the mandolin).

Notes: So I wrote this song while trying to learn 'drop-thumb'... It is a simple tune with 'drop-thumb' in about half of the measures. It is a good tune to learn on, in my opinion, and even if you can already drop that thumb, its a cute little tune. Try it out and tell me what you think!

Notes: Here are two breaks for this popular jamming tune that I came up with several decades ago. The first (high) break provides variations on the way Earl Scruggs played it, and you can find tabs of Scruggs’s version in his book and also elsewhere in the Tab Archive. As far as I know, Alan Munde’s version included the first recorded low break to the tune, and the second break here is a low break I came up with, inspired by Munde's, that includes a bunch of tricks/licks I find myself using in a variety of different tunes.

Notes: A classic Kenny Baker tune, arranged for the banjo by me. I first posted the tab in 2010 or 2011. After listening to a lot of Kenny Baker lately (October 2016), I revisited the tab and edited it a bit. It is a lovely medium-tempo tune, and my arrangement highlights the power of the pull-off on the first string out of the C position.

Notes: Here's a wicked little banjo tune from the great Alan Munde and Country Gazette. Lots of "Dillard" roll here, and everything falls nicely under the fingers until the diminished run at the end, which is fairly prickly.... This is one you should have in your arsenal - enjoy! Skip Holmes.

Notes: aEAC#E. This tune is tabbed out in the most basic open ended way I could figure. Everybody plays a little different so I just try to get the basic thing out. That doesn't mean it is easy but it doesn't mean it's hard. Tunes evolve over time. I actually had to undate one messure to how I play it today. As my old friend Bob Holt would put it "I wrote that tune...after I played it about a thousand times". Have fun with it. It is one of my favorites.

Notes: Bill Keith was scheduled to teach at the Alabama Folk School at Camp McDowell this spring, and consequently I was very excited to get to pick his brain for 4 whole days. However, he unfortunately had to decline due to a "health issue beyond his control." So, I thought I'd just learn a few of his tunes anyway. Why not start with one of the first ones that made him famous… the "Devi's Dream" and "Sailor's Hornpipe" medley from the "Livin' On The Mountain" album? This should be a note for note transcription, with the possible exception that there were a couple of spots where he may have used a "pull-off" lick getting to the A minor chord, but I couldn't really tell. I didn't include it, so the A minor bits are played around the 5th fret, instead of the first. I wish him well and hope that his health improves so that he might make it back in the future.

Notes: Ralph Stanley's "Dickson County Breakdown", a banjo breakdown that is basically a lot of common banjo licks over a simple melody, nonetheless great sounding and fun to play. Although rather close to Ralph's break, neither of the breaks are replicas of his own; they are fully my own interpretations. He doesn't do the up the neck break, but I thought it was fun so I threw it in there. Has useful, standard key of "G" introduction & ending that can fit on many songs. Includes a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun!

Notes: On 8 December 1962 Flatt and Scruggs played their legendary concert at Carnegie Hall. It was not the first bluegrass concert at Carnegie Hall, having been preceded by Earl Taylor and the Stoney Mountain Boys, but it is certainly the most memorable. Dig a Hole in the Meadow was one of the songs the Foggies played, and it incorporates one of Earl’s most elegant breaks that nails the melody without over-reliance on formulaic rolls. Ironically, Bill Monroe recorded the song as Darling Cory just 2 days before, on 6 December 1962, with Lonnie Hoppers playing a break similar but not identical to Earl’s on banjo. Most bluegrass folk are probably familiar with the version by the Foggies, but you should definitely give a listen to Monroe’s version as well: His singing is outstanding, Kenny Baker's fiddle playing is beautiful as always, and Monroe takes a mandolin break that is positively eerie.

Notes: Dixie Hoedown is a wonderful tune written by Jesse McReynolds. Most of us are familiar with Jim and Jesse's 1950s recording of it, with Bobby Thompson playing a semi-melodic style on banjo. The tablature is my own version of Dixie Hoedown, comprising two breaks. The B Part in the second break is a bit tricky. I was trying to find a way to play the half-step discord between the C and B notes in the B minor chord and between A# and A in the A minor chord. I could find the discordant note on the fifth string, but could not play the other notes out of the minor chord on strings 1, 2, and 3 because my left hand could not accommodate the positions. I hit upon playing from the chord position on strings 2, 3, and 4, with the discordant note on the fifth. This works well, but it requires some practice. If the text describing the B Part does not make sense to you, just use the MIDI function in TablEdit to play the tab, so that you can at least hear what it should sound like.

Notes: This is a version of Steve Earle's "Dixieland" on the Mountain Album. It's played in the key of D on the album (capo at 7th fret for a bright sound to compliment the penny whistle). This tab follows the vocals. The intro is slightly different, but I think you can figure out that part using this tab.

Notes: Here's an old tune from the late 20's (I think), "Doin' The Uptown Lowdown". I learned this from a Joe Venuti and his Blue Six recording from '34, with some help from "Joe Venuti and his Orchestra"'s recording. It's a cool number with a not too complicated chord progression that moves right along. The bridge, IMHO, is wonderful, how it hangs on that Bb7 and is just dying to resolve. A good number to jam on. Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun!

Notes: Kick off as played by Ron Stewart on Adam Steffey's CD, 'Grateful." This is quintessential down and dirty, driving banjo. It demands to be played with attitude and bounce.

Notes: Here is a fine old fiddle tune from Texas, Done Gone, in the key of Bb. There are actually 2 different versions here, both adapted from the two versions in the "Craig Duncan Master Fiddle Solo Collection". The first version, a three part tune, is accommodating of the lower register of the banjo note-for-note in the first and second parts, although some "octave switching" is needed in the third part. The second version requires the use of the upper register of the banjo, and is much more difficult. It's not a jam standard, but a fun piece to play and should you come across a fiddler who knows either version, it's an excellent tune to play. Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun!

Notes: I transcribed this from Jim's sound file posted here. You will find that bars 13-16 are a bit different than on other passes through. I have written out bars 13-16 just as Jim played them, but you may find it easier to substitute bars 21-23, which are very similar to the intro. The tab itself cannot accurately describe Jim's exceptional nuance and dynamics... you'll have to listen very closely to duplicate which notes sing out, and which notes are tucked into the background. This afternoon I went through this tab with Jim to ensure it's accuracy. I hope you enjoy it. - John

Notes: I've had to learn fiddle tunes on banjo for my current Celtic-oriented band. When I can't find a tab in a book or online, I have to work out my own three-finger arrangements. Typically, I start at one of the ABC Notation sites to get the basic melody. This setting of Donnybrook Fair is the first one I've taken the time to enter in TablEdit. I'm uploading the same tab in PDF in case your TablEdit display and print preferences don't like my tab. (And in case you don't have the TEF player)

Notes: A simplified beginning clawhammer version of Dooley, made famous by the Dillards. This is tabbed in G, but can be played in A, B or C (with Capo or up-tuning). Included are lyrics and optional intros and endings. The verse starts at the 3rd stanza (measure 1). Remember to repeat between : and substitute 2 for 1 on 2nd go around where applicable. Also included are BHO links in B and G. Linked to Beginning Clawhammer Group.

Notes: The Dillards Dooley from the Back Porch Bluegrass LP. I included all the breaks and backup, the whole song. There are also lyrics (the tab is the banjo backup not the melody) and chords so your guitar buddy can play along or you can vamp if you get sick of rolling.

Notes: I made this tab on a request for a clawhammer tab, but it includes three different versions. Down On The Corner is a difficult clawhammer tune because of its calypso rhythm, three-finger style works much better. To get the calypso rhythm in clawhammer you must use some drop thumbs combined with "skips" (or air brushes), and emphasize the drop thumb notes. To get the calypso rhythm in 3-finger it is just to play a forward roll (T M t I M t I M - T for emphasize melody note played by thumb and t for thumb on fifth string) The three versions I have tabbed are: 1. First the basic riffs, as played on guitar (but it is played one octave lower on guitar). It is important to get the right rhythm when playing this. Count fast 1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2 and the melody notes falls on the 1s.This can be played in any style. 2. Then a clawhammer version where I have tried to get the calypso rhythm. Be sure to get the drop thumb and the skips (air brushes) right to keep the rhythm. Your hand shall be moving in a steady up and down motion as in most clawhammer tunes, but the emphasized drop thumbs and skips will get the calypso rhythm effects. 3. And finally a three-finger version based on a simple forward roll. I think this is much easier than the clawhammer version because the forward roll fits into the calypso rhythm.

Notes: This starts with one of Earl Scruggs's breaks from the 1949 recording, then proceeds to a version of one of Crowe's breaks from the Bluegrass Album Band, and finishes with a couple of my breaks. You may find it useful to compare the subtle differences between Scruggs's approach and Crowe's. It is often played in the key of B, with the capo moved up 4 frets.

Notes: I have tabbed out two breaks to Down Yonder. The first is a pretty straight Scruggs-style break that sticks to the melody. The second is more interpretive and includes some melodic sequences that are useful in lots of tunes.

Tuning is done in a Standard open G. However the low D must be tuned down to A#/ B flat for this intro to sound correct! (gA#GBD)

Notes: "Drunkard's Lone Child," based on the playing of Dock Boggs. This song makes use of a 3 finger up picking style. The banjo follows the vocal melody. The thumb plays notes on the 3rd, 4th, and drone strings while the index and middle fingers play the 2nd and 1st strings, respectively. My version follows Boggs' 1963 recording, where he plays the initial verse a little differently from the rest. I have offered both ways in the tablature. The tab here is a basic outline, but in actual practice many liberties may be taken and variations played. I improvise a little when I play this, and I play with timing quite a bit, as Boggs often did. The tuning is f#CGAD.

Notes: DM is a wonderful old fiddle tune that arises in many jams. My arrangement is based in part on Butch Robins's recording and in part on an obscure tape of Bill Keith playing it in a jam at Roland White's house in 1968. I have to warn you that it might be Vic Jordan playing banjo on the White tape, because he recorded a similar arrangement on his solo album a few years later. However, to me it sounds like Keith's playing and Keith's banjo. In any case, I tabbed it out in G, but to accommodate the fiddle and mandolin you would normally capo up 2 and play it in the key of A.

Notes: (f#DGBD tuning!) Same version of Schlange's, but in Guitar pro format (Mac friendlier), two options for pdf (with or without standard notation for printing options), and removed 24 measures (116 instead of 140) by using repeat signs and alternate ending notation. Less ink, paper, and page turning are always good in my book. Measures 86-89,110-111 add 5 to the fifth string unless it's zero (because it was originally in Tabledit format, tux guitar imported it that way to Guitar Pro and I'm unable to change it),Refer to the aforementioned sources for the MIDI, as it is the same.

Notes: This version contains 4 breaks. The first and third are similar to Earl Scruggs's low and high breaks, the second and fourth are my own. You will note that I wrote the tab as though you are playing without Keith tuners and hence must fake the tuner part; if you have Keith or Scruggs tuners, by all means use them. Note also that the chord structure of the first break is slightly different from the others: In the A part, measure 8 (which is measure 7 if you ignore the introductory measure), the I chord (G) is held and leads into the V chord (D) in the next measure. In all the other breaks, the equivalent of measure 7 is a II chord (A) that leads into the V chord (D). Yep, that's the way Earl wrote, recorded, and played it.

Notes: Here's two Don Reno banjo breaks to an old Bill Harrell classic, "Eatin' Out Of Your Hand". It is very close, but not quite note for note Don's two breaks to the song. The first break is the melody, fairly simple but just perfect. The second one is quite mind blowing and is really crazy. If you learn these breaks you can learn a lot about the Reno style. The first break is more of an Intermediate, fairly straightforward, but the second one is pretty hard. Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun!

Notes: A simplified version of Eight More Miles to Louisville. I like playing this in A, so either capo 2 from G or tune up like Grandpa Jones to A. However, I don't know if Grandpa Jones ever played this on a Banjo, all the versions I have are on a guitar. Dave Hum plays a mean version (Scruggs Style) in A. Both Youtube versions are linked on the 1st page with lyrics. I've added a page 2 for the Chorus and a midi link (Dave Hum version in A) in case the Youtube links disappear. This is for the melody and back-up, there are other versions in Scruggs style available under the tabs menu. (I've put "to Louisville" in (paranthesis) because I live in Russellville, Arkansas and like to substitute "to Russellville" in my version when I play. Substitute your own 3 syllable town in your version, if you desire. Lou-is-ville, Russ-ell-ville, New-Or-leans, etc. Remember, Louisville is pronounced Louie-ville. Linked to Beginner Clawhammer Group.

Notes: Originally known as 'Jackson's Victory' (while he was still popular) and later changed to the 'Eighth of January', we also know this favorite tune as the melody or "air" to the 'Battle of New Orleans'. Notice the Celtic-sounding drones and raggy syncopation I have put into the second part to give it more lift. I use a lot of staccoto-single-string work in the second part to capture the melody down the neck, but it could also be played an octave higher in a more legato-melodic style.

Notes: Here I make (1) “melismatic variations” in the form of grace notes, using slides and pull-offs, (2) “intervallic variations” by moving away from the normal melody, substituting higher and lower notes, also developing a series of either ascending or descending note patterns, and (3) “rhythmic variations” in the form of syncopation, also by making two eighth notes a quarter note (as in the first full measure), or by making a quarter note two eighth notes (as in measures 6 and 10, on the third beat). The pinches, sometimes straight, sometimes syncopated, serve as examples of combined intervallic-rhythmic variation. I have doubled the parts, also breaking them up into units of four measures each, indicated by a heavy bar line, putting in variations that sound good to me after all these years playing the tune. Within the A and B sections, the order of parts can be moved around any way you want, but here I start with the simple before moving to the more complex. One can go back to playing the tune’s structure as AB, instead of doubling both sections. The tune structure here is actually A1, A2, A3, A4; B1, B2, B3, B4. These are not the only variations, obviously, but these are what I like to hear and play. It’s about playing the sounds that you want to hear, not about playing variations just to play them, or an abstract exercise.

The B part of the tunes gets 'up the neck' but don't be put off as the picked notes are all in the chord shapes for Bb and Eb.

Notes: Based on the playing of Herb Pedersen from the Linda Ronstadt recording, this J. D. Souther favorite is played in the key of D with the banjo in a G tuning with the fifth string tuned to A. The role of the banjo is primarily that of backup to Ronstadt’s vocals.

Notes: Fancy Dance, from Buckley's New Banjo Method of 1860. Not actually in standard open G, but in minstrel tuning eAEG#B. Perfectly playable in Briggs tuning of dGDF#A. To play on a modern banjo, tune your fourth string down by two semitones and you'll be in a transposition of minstrel tuning.

Notes: My first arrangement. An old German childrens song which happens to be the song we use to sing my daughter to sleep each night. It is called "Das Farbenlied" (the colours song) or "Grün, grün, grün" (Green, green, green). There is one colour in each verse and the lyrics repeat all the time: "Grün, grün, grün sind alle meine Kleider, grün, grün, grün ist alles, was ich hab. Darum lieb' ich alles, was so grün ist, weil mein Schatz ein Jäger ist." (Green ... are all my cloths, green is everything I own, this is why I love everything green, because my darling is a hunter) It goes on with all types of colours and matching professions, black => chimney sweeper, red => fireman, yellow => postman, blue => sailor. You get the idea...

Notes: Farewell Blues, an old swing tune made famous as a bluegrass banjo instrumental by Earl Scruggs, in a more jazz-worthy key: Eb major, although like Earls version it has that funky b3 major chord instead of the swingy b3 diminished chord. The key should not be as much a subject of worry as is the intense hand contortions needed to get the drop-C chord (e.g. 5567, 4th to 1st strings) sound in open-G; down the neck this is a real STRECH! It took me a looottt of practising to be able to make the chords up to speed, but it is worth it; it's a real neat sound. The other hard lick is the tag lick such as the one in measures 3 & 7. This one takes a little practice. The single string licks are mostly standard Reno single string licks, although there's one of my own at the beginning of the 5th break. This tune will definitely take some practice, but it's a real firecracker once you get it right. I shamelessly like this tune in Eb much better than drop-C tuning, key of C. Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun!

Notes: 'Farewell Trion' - James Bryan learned Farewell Trion from Mack Blaylock (1914 – 1987). They are from the same region near Lookout Mountain in Alabama. Mack learned it from his great-uncle, Joe Blaylock (born 1854) who had worked at the mill in Trion, Georgia but was laid off and walked back home to Alabama. The original tune had two parts. James added the third part in the 1980’s. Several musicians have since recorded it, a notable one being Chris Coole with Ivan Rosenburg on a CD in 2010 named “Farewell Trion.” (thanks to Janet Barton for history of this tune) Here's Janet Barton's tab and recording of the tune: http://www.banjohangout.org/archive/297439

Notes: Here's Fiddler's Blues, an old Fiddlin' Arthur Smith tune in D. It is one of the most haunting tunes I know, making extensive use of that odd flat-five note (Ab in this case). It is quite slow, and has a march-like quality (in rhythm, not melody!), which is slightly less exaggerated in the original recording by the use of sock-rhythm guitar rather than the standard bass-chord bluegrass/old time rhythm guitar. It's not particularly hard, and because it is slow the single string parts can (and should) be played by picking repeatedly with the thumb rather than TI or TIM (I have included right-hand fingering in this tab for this reason). There are a lot of bends in this tune, to replicate the many slides Smith used in the recording. I like to put a D-tuner on the low D, set the stop down to slightly above a C, and bend from the b7 up to the D in the second part, to replicate FA Smith's slide there. I highly recommend listening to the original recording! Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun!

Notes: Here is a three-finger version of Fiddling Around. The TablEdit file contains both banjo and guitar, while the pdf version only shows the banjo (and the guitar chords). The tab is based on a transcription from the fiddle version in David Brody's The Fiddler's Fakebook. The first part is rather banjo friendly, but the second part contains some "shuffling" which can be played in several other ways on the banjo. Just use your own imagination and work out something own if you feel for it.

Notes: This tune comes from the legendary West Virginia fiddler Edden Hammons. The tune is basically in Mixolydian mode, and is crooked; the A part has an extra beat. I have a video posted of this tune on my homepage.

Notes: These are finger warm up exercises based on ones I used to do for guitar. Play *slowly*, with metronome or play along with Tabledit, until you can play them perfectly. If you're making mistakes as you play, you're playing it fast. Increase speed gradually over time. I did this with standard G tuning, which is how it sounds best, but this is about fingering, not melody, so technically the tuning of your banjo doesn't matter.

Notes: This is not note-for-note the way Bobby Thompson recorded it, but it's probably close enough for most of us. His version was in B flat, incidentally, capoed up three. It should be played fast; so burn it up!

Notes: This "fire" is a rare tune that comes from the late south-central Kentucky fiddler Isham Monday. It is completely unrelated to the tune most commonly associated with the title, a bluegrass fiddle standard. I have a video posted of this tune on my homepage.

Notes: Here is an excellent old fiddle tune, "Fisher's Hornpipe", arranged for melodic style banjo in the original key of F major. While not an unknown fiddle tune, it's not overly common and is one of my personal favorites. It's relatively hard, and I perpetually have trouble with the timing. There are two markedly different ways to play "Fisher's", one is at a medium tempo with a pronounced bounce, the other is at a relatively fast tempo with straight 8th notes. The former would be more of a dancing style, the latter a bluegrass style. There are two places in the tune which have a II7 (G7) chord, which may or may not be played by the guitarist. Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun!

Notes: Here is an excellent old fiddle tune, "Fisher's Hornpipe", arranged for melodic style banjo in the now-common key of D major. It is a straight forward, entirely melody based version of the tune. In the first part there is a quick (1/2 measure) II7 (E7) chord, which may or may not be played by the rhythm guitarist; the melody does not change, regardless. There is a little bit of "cross-picking" (crossing one right-hand finger over another) and dropping the middle finger down to the 2nd string. Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun!

Notes: FH can be played in several different keys, but it works well in G, which takes advantage of some standard melodic positions and runs. I took the variation on the A part, starting in measure 9, from Byron Berline's version in his fiddle album with the Dillards. You will note that it anticipates the B part and that its chord structure is slightly different from the standard A part, in measures 1 to 9. Berline and the Dillards played it in D, and I transposed it to G. I hope I captured the feel of his version.

Notes: Here's a lovely little tune with a great title written by Steve Huber of Huber Banjos fame, and one that involves use of Keith/Scruggs tuners. (For simplicity I will refer just to Keith tuners.) It is problematic to tab the Keith tuner changes in TablEdit, and so I have followed my usual practice: I have tabbed the tune to show the melody notes without tuners (i.e., the notes as played on fretted strings 3 and 4), but I added the protocol for using Keith tuners on open strings (2 and 3) above the tab. So you can still play it if you do not have Keith tuners, although it sounds much better with the tuners. The structure of the tune is AAB, and I have included a second version of the B part, this one up the neck. Although similar to Huber's version, this is my own arrangement of Five in the Morning and not a note-for-note transcription of his.

A great discussion of the fire and the tune can be found at http://www.banjohangout.org/topic/275873 A modal can be achieved by tuning the banjo to G modal (gDGCD) and adding a capo at the second fret and raising the pitch on the 5th string one step.

Notes: In the multi-CD set "Newport Folk Festival: Best of Bluegrass 1959-66," Don Stover played a great break to Flint Hill Special employing a descending melody on the fourth string. It reminds me of a ball bouncing down a staircase ("descending Victorian stairs," a line from Jesse Winchester), and I refer to it as Stover's Staircase break. The repetitive right-hand pattern is 4-2-1-2. I have tabbed out an approximation of Stover's Staircase break here, and you can find a variation of the Staircase break in my tab to FMB elsewhere on BHO.

Notes: A 3-finger arrangement of Vasen's Flippen. The A part is a down the neck, fairly scruggsy solo version of the melody. The B part goes up the neck, and is rather more like how Punch Brothers do it, albeit massively simplified from Noam P's part! Capoed up 2 for A. Amended 26/2/12: A couple of tweaks to the tab, since I've familiarised myself with Swedish folk music a bit more since then..

Notes: This is a banjo arrangement of the Fly Away Medley by Mark Hayes. I was asked to perform this in church, so I had to figure out a tablature arrangement. Some is based on tabs from others, but most, I wrote myself. This is the first time I have done this, and the first time I performed in public (possibly my last!). This file was corrected and improved 5-9-2011.

Notes: All of us want to play FMB at speed. Trying to speed up too fast is difficult because it only SOUNDS like FMB at warp 9. Slowing it down and adding some swing makes it fun and almost turns it into a new song - except it's not. Play it with some swing, and when the speed comes to you it'll sound like FMB! This was tabbed on the fly so it's not completely accurate - but it's close enough.

Notes: Don Stover played a marvelous descending melody as one of his breaks to Flint Hill Special. The right-hand pattern is a repetitive 4-2-1-2. Although I have not been able to find a version by Stover, or anybody else for that matter, playing this melodic sequence in Foggy Mountain Breakdown, the pattern works well with FMB. This is my arrangement of FMB with a number of embellishments. The second break includes a Stover-like sequence.

Notes: Here is my take on Don Reno’s classic tune, Follow The Leader. It incorporates the three main styles of Bluegrass banjo; Scruggs, Melodic and of course Single-String (ala Don Reno).

Notes: This is based on the original Reno & Smiley recording. It's heavily syncopated and very striking: Reno accented a lot of melody notes on the offbeats, also brushing with his thumb, letting the banjo ring into the downbeat, and his staccato single-string work is legendary stuff, a bold stylistic departure from Earl's approach. This is one of Reno's signature tunes, perhaps his answer to Scruggs' 'Foggy Mountain Breakdown'. (See page 1 and 2.)

Notes: I play this tune out of D tuning and capoed up 2 frets for key of E. A lot of guitar pickers think that they've got us banjo pickers on the ropes by playing in E. WE have secret weapons, one is open D tuning and the other is a capo. :) Have fun with this tune.......Lynn

Notes: Foochow's Shanghai has been my first compostion for the tenor banjo, which I have dedicated to my good Scottish banjo friend Bill Somerville from Glasgow. It should adapt an Chinese touch, in style to Chinatown, My Chinatown. This tune was published in my second music book for the tenor banjo. Chrille's Hot & Jazzy Melodies For The Tenor Banjo Vol. II deals with wonderful compositions for the tenor banjo, which present the banjo in all it's characteristics. These are the songs: St. Louis Blues (W.C. Handy), Pepper & Salt (Ralph Colicchio), Foochow's Shanghai (Christian Loos), The Savoy Rag (Pete Mandell), The Ghost Of The Banjo (Roy Smeck) & My Lady Jazz (A.J. Weidt). As a first impression of the book you can enjoy my composition Foochow's Shanghai. As always you have a piano accompaniment on CD in three different speed levels.

Notes: A little game to work on Scruggs Style speed (I think). I heard a classical guitarist talking about tremolo speed. Tremolo on a classical guitar involves playing a rapid succession of index (i) - middle (m) - ring (a). He pointed out that even though the combination of the notes is rapid each finger digit is only striking the string say twice a measure, or once a measure. My theory is that if you increase the tempo on the index only to get the timing right on and then switch to middle only and then thumb only and then start mixing combinations of thumb + index only, or thumb + middle only, or index + middle only, then when you finally do thumb, index, middle you "might" be able to play a little faster than before.

Notes: A very pretty waltz written by Phil Cunningham. You can find a great recording of this tune on the "Transatlantic Sessions 3" DVD, featuring Aly Bain and Jerry Douglas. (No banjo to be seen, but we can remedy that!) I noticed just recently on listening to the original again, that I was missing a descending chord progression in the B part, so and have rectified it! B part is now complete with a "C-Am7-D-G change, as opposed to C - - G, which is how the tab went until now.... :-)

Notes: Here is a nifty G to C run I first heard Sonny Osborne play in Bugle Call Rag, on a concert tape from the late 1960s or early 1970s. Kristin Scott Benson also uses it in her recent (2009) version of Bugle Call Rag. The first two versions are what I hear Sonny and Kristin playing, respectively (with thanks to Kristin for helping on her version). The third version varies by one crucial note. You decide which one you prefer.

Notes: Québécois tune from the Olympia Quebecois session repertoire. From the repertoire of Bertrand Deraspe. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote Evangeline in 1847 as a tragic but fictional account of two lovers, Evangeline and Gabriel, who were separated on their wedding day during the expulsion of the Acadians from Acadie (present-day Nova Scotia, Canada). In the poem, Evangeline spends much of her life wandering North America in search of her lost love. The real Acadian exiles were also heartbroken from being forced from their homes.

Notes: This is a tune by Chris Pandolfi. This is the A part of the tune, which is played twice before the B part. The song actually begins at measure 5, and that's where the backup starts. Measures 1-4 are an intro, so when repeating the A part, start the second time at measure 5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQMhT0n-h6M&feature=youtu.be

Notes: Another tune I needed to learn for my Celtic band. No tab was available, so I worked out my own version. I couldn't tab it out to play the slide at measure 3 exactly as I play it. What happens is you give the last note of measure 2 (3rd string, 2nd fret) its full eighth note count. Then, without picking again, you slide up to 4th fret on the 1 count of measure 3. The slide all happens on the 1 count and is done by the time you play the 2nd string open. So it's different from a bluegrass slide in that respect.

Notes: Everybody loves Steve Earle's "Galway Girl", good verses, very good chorus and now a fine banjo solo based on Sharon Shannon's intrumental. The tune itself is not difficult. Most of ornementations I usually add are left, you can add yours. The only difficulty is stepping between 5th and 12th positions and back. Enjoy and if you like it, let me know.

Notes: Here is a tune I picked up in the 1970's. I first heard it by the Chieftains.
The song is written by some one named Paddy Moloney, supposedly for
a friend's wedding, who's name is Garech.
My playing may be a bit off here on the sound file (also on guitar), my apologies.
The transcript is from me playing a phrase and then notating it down on paper and then setting it up in Guitar Pro 6.

Hope you enjoy it;
AJ

Notes: An Irish jig transformed into a CH banjo reel. It is normally played in D-mixolydian (D scale with C-natural), but I tabbed it in "triple-C" tuning, so you'd capo up one step to get to D. The triple C tuning seem good for the drones of these piping tunes. Adding extra beats to the jig to change it from 6/8 time to 4/4 time "americanizes" the tune. One BHO member even said it seems "bluesy".

Notes: Alison Brown is an incredible progressive banjo player, right up there with Bela and a few others. I first saw her in the 1990s when she was accompanist for Michele Shocked, and her reputation led me to a Michele Shocked concert in Victoria, B.C. Brown lived up to expectations, and in the process I discovered the delightful Michele Shocked. In addition to her progressive and jazz playing, Brown can rip off a straight-ahead bluegrass tune. Girl’s Breakdown is one of her originals that makes good use of Keith/Scruggs tuners, hence her clever play on the title “Earl’s Breakdown.” The tune is on her wonderful 2000 recording “Fair Weather.” When examining the tab, you will be able to hear the note changes in the MIDI file -- and you will need to listen to the MIDI, to hear the tune's melody -- but these are not reflected in the frets indicated in the tab, which show the string going from 0 to 0. This is because I employed the pitch change function to achieve that sound (also, how would TablEdit depict detuning the second string from B to A --- e.g., 0 to -2?). The actual notes played are shown in text above the appropriate section of tab. And I want to thank Jack Baker for alerting me to the pitch change function. Through the years Jack has been generous and accommodating in helping me to understand the subtleties of TablEdit and of musical notation in general, and I gratefully acknowledge his guidance here. His contributions to BHO have been very significant. On the recording, Alison really burns it up; hence the MIDI is high-speed. But you can slow the MIDI down, to hear it better. And if you find the TablEdit file to be too long to print, with both musical notation and guitar accompaniment displayed, you can go into “Print Preview,” then “Print Setup,” then “Multitrack” to suppress the musical notation, and you can delete the guitar by clicking on the green bar above track 2 and deleting. The structure of Girl’s Breakdown is AAB. Michael

Notes: This is written by Alison Brown and you must have a pair of D-tuners installed for this - and see that they are well oiled! A lot of twisting and turning. The difficult parts are where you have to turn the tuner in advance to be prepared. This and then in the B-part where the banjo is tuned to D for some measures.

Notes: Inspired from the movie "Sargeant York" (one of my favorites) can be heard (and seen) @: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f68TdgErXkE This classic hymnal lyrics has many variations (I've provided a few of the better known ones. Repeat between the " : ", 1st round through can be repeated until the melody is learned, then add hammer-on's and pull-offs when you are comfortable. Will also list it as "Old Time Religion" since there are no other clawhammer versions in G.

Notes: Here is a well known pop tune from the teens by George Cohan, "Give My Regards To Broadway". I have it arranged here in the key I found in a book of piano tunes, and it is a good key for the tune. Has a whole lot of inside, square (un-syncopated) rolls. Has a single string lick, and the ending is a great Don Reno "rake" ending, used on such tunes as his (Rural Rhythm) recording of "Limehouse Blues". Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun!

Notes: Here's a tab I've been working on for a couple of days now. Not traditional, but a great tune, and a challenge to play. The song actually changes keys in the middle, from A to C. Also, there are many bars which have a time signature of 6/4 or 2/4, so the time on this song is a bit tricky. Other than that, pretty straightforward chords. Enjoy! Arnon

Notes: Golden Eagle is an obscure fiddle tune. The only recording I have of it is by Tony Furtado, who plays a wonderful jazzy version with lots of single-string technique. My version is in pretty straight melodic style. The arrangement is difficult to play, but it is worth the effort because it is such a terrific tune. If you are not familiar with it, be sure to play the MIDI file so that you can hear how the melody goes.

Notes: GLJ is a common jam tune, and one well worth learning. Here are two breaks, a low and a high one, that are pretty straightforward. The only tricky bits might the melodic sequence in measures 47 and 48, as well as the ending. The latter arose as an attempt to create an ending based in triplets. Did it work? You be the judge.

DOWNLOAD: TABLEDIT  
Notes: This arrangement is in open D tuning (f#DF#AD). Most banjo pickers play "Black Mountain Rag" out of G tuning, usually capoed up 2 to A. However, following Doc Watson's version, guitarists tend to play it in C, capoed up 2 to D. On the banjo the tune is also wonderful played out of open D tuning (f#DF#AD). Don Reno played it in D tuning, and he renamed it "Green Mountain Hop." On his "Something Auld" album, over 30 years ago, Bill Keith also played "Green Mountain Hop" in open D tuning, and it is a great arrangement that I have tried to capture in this tablature. Pay particular attention to the interesting variation on the V chord (A) beginning in measure 28 -- for me, this clever sequence typifies Bill Keith's inventive playing. I have also thrown in a single-string version of the first part of the tune, for a slightly different approach.

Notes: A melodic version of all 4 parts of Grey Eagle, inspired by the fiddle playing of Bobby Hicks. The version on banjo by Butch Robins was also an influence, and I tip my hat to him with the harmonic section in the last part. I originally posted this tab in October 2011 and in April 2016 have corrected some errors and added the guitar track. What can I say, I have slow reflexes.

Notes: This version is more modal-sounding than the nice tab Jack Baker has posted. When working up my breaks many years ago, I was greatly influenced by Red Allen and Frank Wakefield's rendering of the song, which includes the G to F progression. At any rate, it is a slightly different take on a great old nonsense song ("...groundhog grease all over her chin..." Really?)

Notes: There are already 237 versions of Groundspeed on BHO. Why add another? Well, this one has some interesting features. For one, the B part in the first break is to my ears (but what do I know) perhaps more faithful to Scruggs’s recording on the Foggy Mountain Banjo album than most other versions, all due to the difference made by one note, the second string B rather than the first string D. In other words, following the Flint Hill Flash's lead, I hear Scruggs's first pinch as involving the open second (B) string and the third string at the second fret, rather than the open first (D) string and the third string at the second fret. For another, the second break starts out high but is mostly down the neck, in melodic style (hah, take that, Flint Hill Flash!). It’s a tasteful version, if I do say so myself. The third break has some ideas you may find useful, and the ending is of general interest and utility. It’s an ending lick I first heard J. D. Crowe play.

Notes: This tune is simple but catchy. I wrote if for my best friend, Guido (pronounced Gee-doh with a hard G). Its in open G, with a capo on the second fret (aEAC#E) and I classified it as 'intermediate' because it has a few instances of drop thumb, but its really pretty easy to play. If you make a recording, let me know! :) Daniyel

Notes: An article in the Banjo Newsletter in December, 1980. Two tabs, Pastures of Plenty and Darling Nelllie Grey. Article contains suggestions on playing with the banjo tuned, in a relative manner, to the top four strings of a guitar or the bottom four strings (Kyle Creed's tuning for Cumberland Gap). 5th string can be tuned to play in most any key. Chord positions are like guitar chords. Additional words for Darling Nelly Gray (corrected spelling) - B.R. Hanby What I published in the Banjo Newsletter only shows verses 1, 2, and 5 and the two choruses. 3. One night I went to see her but "she's gone" the neighbors say, The white man bound her with his chain, They have taken her to Georgia to wear her life away, As she toils in the cotton and the cane. 4. My canoe is under water and my banjo is unstrung I'm tired of living anymore; My eyes shall look downward and my songs shall be unsung While I stay on the old Kentucky shore. Two copies of the sheet music are available from the Library of Congress (Historic American Sheet Music; links are to Duke University Libraries, Digital Collections) http://library.duke.edu/digitalcollections/hasm_a3400/ http://library.duke.edu/digitalcollections/hasm_conf0019/

Notes: My interpretation of two John Hartford breaks in his solo performance from the "Learning to Smile" video. Of Course, John tunes his banjer down to his low open E tuning(everything tuned down 3 half steps from standard). Comments and corrections are welcome.

Notes: Here is my clawhammer interpretation of Ed Haley's Half Past Four. According to John Hartford, Ed's son Lawrence Haley said Ed wrote this tune about the passing of Sherman Luther, Ed's firstborn boy, who died in childbirth at half past four in the morning. Ed Haley (1885-1951) was a blind fiddler who who traveled widely throughout West Virginia, Ohio, eastern Kentucky and southwestern Virginia, and is known for his powerful fiddling and distinctive repertoire. The tab includes open-string pull-offs marked by bold "PO". The tuning is aEAC#E, which can be reached by tuning the strings up, or by capoing standard G tuning at the second fret.

Notes: This is an untitled tune on page 12 of the Hamblen Collection, a compilation of tunes from the 1800's (this is only available from the Library of Congress, in facsimile). Since the title 'Untitled Tune' is confusing, I think 'Hamblen 12' serves a decent stand-in, and anyone familiar with the Collection will understand the meaning. If you're curious about this collection, a Google search will be very fruitful! This tab is to go with a previously uploaded MP3 of me playing the tune (included here), and a MIDI file of this tab. 'Hamblen 12' has been lots of fun in a session and I'm hoping more people get to play it!

Notes: Adapted for 3-finger style banjo from a YouTube Video of Nancy & Norman Blake playing it on mandolin & guitar respectively [ https://youtu.be/_I_hmwUMHzE ] this is a three part tune in Em with a cute A to Am move in it, and a weird number of bars in the A part. Great to play, once you have the parts of the tune in your head!

Notes: I miss playing all of those wonderful exercises by C.L. Hanon for Piano. These exercises were intended to build accuracy, speed, finger strength, and endurance. Recently, I finally decided to convert one of them to tab for banjo. Play slowly, with metronome or with Tabledit until you can play them perfectly, then gradually increase speed over time. Unlike with the piano, you can move the exercise down the neck if you want to increase finger stretching.
Happy Birthday

Notes: A few months after I started playing banjo, I found myself wanting to play Happy Birthday for my sister-in-law. I was dissatisfied with the tabs available, and knocked this together. It's simple, meant for clawhammer-style playing, and actually uses the fifth string.

Notes: by Ralph Stanley, as heard on the 2001 album "Man of Constant Sorrow". I couldn't find a tab or lesson that sounded close enough so here's a note by note reconstruction of the recording. Fingering might be off but I'm 99% sure of the notes. The recording is about a quarter of a tone sharp, if you're planning to play along with both you might want to pitch shift it.

Notes: When my doctor starts hinting at my having to go to the hospital I try to immerse myself in some positive uplifting activity. This past week that positive uplifting activity was an attempt at banjofying one of my favorite tunes: HaTikva ("The Hope"). Here it is. I'm not playing the banjo in the MP3 - it was generated from the MIDI file. Nothing fancy here however I'm quite fond of it. Hope you enjoy it.

And if you like oddball scales, this one is using the Phrygian Dominant Scale, so you can impress the girls with that bit of info. This is my arrangement.

Notes: Since I'm not convinced that I'm "done" with the song yet, I'm asking for input. How might someone else play it, or how might the existing structure be improved? Please let me know what you think. The song uses a "simplified" version of the original chord progression (Neil Young played Em7 chords often, whereas I have simply replaced many of them with Em chords because I couldn't figure out a way to make it sound as good on the banjo).

Notes: This is a song/tune I fell for a long, long time ago. Generally I play it on fiddle, but had to try it out on Tenor banjo. I really like it on the converted flat top 6 string guitar to Tenor. Hope you enjoy.

Notes: Here's the banjo back-up tab for an old fiddle tune, "Hell's Broke Loose In Georgia". The first time through is very easy, all played out of the drop-C tuning open C chord, and only one left hand ornament, a simple choke. All forward rolls. The second time through is more of an intermediate/advanced version using hammer-ons, pull-offs, and more difficult chokes as well as more varied rolls. This is in the style of banjo & fiddle. Has a mandolin melody track. Have fun!

Notes: The Don Reno banjo instrumental "Hen Scratchin' Stomp". It's sort of Don's take on Katy Hill, with the second section in E instead of G. As in the 1949 Mercury recording of "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" by Flatt & Scruggs, the banjo plays in E minor while the backup band plays in E major. Creates a cool effect. This is a good start to learning Don's rolls, & to see where he differs from the Scruggs style even in its basic rolls. Not too hard, & an altogether fun piece to play. Try bringing it out at your next jam; very few people know it, but it's a simple tune & the others will pick it up quickly. I highly recommend listening to the Tennessee Cut-Ups original recording. It's full of energy, drive, & will give you a good idea of Don's timing.

Notes: Here is a contest fiddle favorite, "Herman's Rag", arranged for 5-string banjo. This is a rather difficult piece, and is transcribed almost note for note from the music for fiddle from "The Craig Duncan Master Fiddle Solo collection", from Mel Bay. The banjo melody is an octave down from the fiddle, and I've changed the melody where it would go too low for the banjo. I've left the contest variations in, so it makes quite an interesting banjo piece. Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun!

Notes: Highlands Hornpipe is a two-part Canadian fiddle tune in Bb & F major. I think there may be a third part or bridge in G minor floating around out there, but I'm not sure. The form is AABB, ending with the first part (AA). E.G., you're at a jam, the fiddle plays AABB, the mandolin plays AABB, the banjo plays AABB, and the fiddle plays AABBAA, end of tune. This is a nice smooth piece, and fortunately it's not too hard to get the real smoothness. There is some "cross-picking" (crossing one right-hand finger over another), and some dropping the middle finger inside. The A section is in Bb & the B section is in F. Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun!

Notes: Another tab request for The Dead South. I have included all of the banjo parts and there is a LOT of single string in this song. The guy plays it with a flat pick but I use thumb and index for the single string parts. I have also included lyrics and the chords so you can play it with your guitar buddy. The last page is alternate fingering for the single string stuff based on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LzW8CHkfPo

Notes: This ballad is also known as 'Edward.' I play this in an index lead two finger style, but it can be easily adapted to clawhammer style. Make liberal use of on-the-beat slides on some of the melody notes, as if playing this on a fretless banjo. I learned the tune from an Art Rosenbaum recording, where he plays it in clawhammer style.

In addition to a guitar break by Clarence White, the recording featured a stellar melodic banjo break by Alan Munde, which I have tried to capture here. The break is difficult and tricky, but mastering it is sure worth the effort.

Notes: Hey kids, ever want to impress your chums down at the malt shop by playing two tunes at once? Well, here's your chance! I first heard Bill Keith play something close to this back in the 1960s and much later heard Bobby Thompson play a version on the famous front-porch tape that Steve Arkin and Keith made of Thompson in 1964 or so. There are no standard 3-finger rolls in this piece, and undoubtedly there are different (and probably better) ways of playing the same notes. But this is what I came up with, and it seems to work, although it is tough to play.

Notes: I found this odd little tune - sometimes called Cuffe Street or Old Cuffe Street - in 1000 Fiddle Tunes, The Fiddler's Bible, several years ago. At the time I couldn't find a recording of it so I put chords to it that I thought worked and we'd play it at jams. Since then I've found a couple of versions of it and, not surprisingly, mine sounds much too American. Oh well, I like it.

Notes: As played by Earl Scruggs, recorded in 1958. Earl departed from his usual rolls in this short break, which he traded with the fiddle and dobro. Instead, he played most of the break in single-string style. It is exceedingly simple and stunningly effective. The song is in waltz time, with the capo on the first fret -- or perhaps Flatt and Scruggs tuned up their instruments a half step, as they tended to do in their earlier recordings. And, yes, the break comprises only 4 measures (thanks to Ken for asking!).

Notes: "I Don't Love Nobody" was the precursor of Bill Monroe's "Santa Claus," according to Neil Rosenberg and Charles Wolfe's discography of Monroe, who learned it from an old-time fiddler in the region of northern Kentucky/southern Indiana. The tune itself seems to be an old-time version of the ragtime tune of the same name, the latter credited to Lew Sully. The ragtime song has appallingly racist lyrics, incidentally, which is perhaps not surprising given the era in which it was written. In any case, the instrumental version of "I Don't Love Nobody" is a wonderful Scruggs-style tune, and this is my version of it in the key of G. My version is based on Allen Shelton's, but includes some variations that you might find useful.

Notes: Johnny Cash used to vary the key while singing I Walk The Line. This is a basic version in G and you can try different barre chords if you want to change to other keys.

Notes: I hope this is readable. I just wrote it out and photographed the tab on the kitchen table. The 5th string doesn't sound too good in the D section against the D chord, so I avoided it. If you want to add it, play it very softly. I'm not sure what 2 keys Johnny used, but it definitely needs a key change of some sort. The site will only allow me to put one key, but I've given you both G and D.

Notes: The first half of the tab is the straight tune, and suitable for beginners; the second is my variation on it, which is more Intermediate in difficulty. I usually tune the banjo aEADE, which makes the tune more aeolian in A, though it is actually pentatonic

Notes: Pretty straightforward. The only comment I would make is that the 8th notes directly after the 8th rests should be played with the thumb (i.e. drop thumb). All the other notes follow the basic bum-ditty intuition in terms of forefinger and thumb use.

Notes: Here is a tab I worked out for this beautiful song; its prety simple, with the same 2 themes being repeated on different strings. Still, I tried to include the different themes in the tab, and labeled them. If you want to hear how it sounds, you can listen to my mp3, where I am playing with a capo on the first fret, and my 5th string tuned to g#. I hope the tab isn't confusing, but it should get you playing the song! Enjoy...

Notes: I Wish You Knew is a classic by Jim and Jesse and the Virginia Boys, with a stellar banjo break by the great Allen Shelton. The break contains ones of Shelton's signature licks, in measure 13, and it illustrates his renowned bouncy style, as can be seen in measures 4 through 7. If you listen to the original recording by Jim and Jesse, you will hear lots of Shelton's tasty backup, including licks influenced by the pedal steel, which also show up in Bill Keith's playing. Jim and Jesse recorded it in the key of B, and so my tab is in B.

Notes: This is my interpretation of Don Stover's version of I Wonder How the Old Folks Are at Home, which he recorded with the Lilly Brothers. It reveals many aspects of his bouncy/punchy style, including repeated pinches and hammer-ons in the C (IV) chord. Compare Stover's break to Bill Keith's, which I have also posted in the Tab Archive.

Notes: Bill Monroe often had Del McCoury sing I Wonder How the Old Folks Are at Home when McCoury was Monroe's lead singer and guitarist, in 1963. Of relevance to BHO, Bill Keith was the banjo player of the day in the Blue Grass Boys. Several concert recordings of Keith's version with Monroe are floating around, and I have combined 2 of his breaks to give you a feel for his approach to the tune. Pay particular attention to measures 14 through 17, where Keith dishes out a tasty melodic take on the A (II) to D (V) chords, a section that alone is worth the price of admission.

Notes: During the discussion in summer 2009 about whether it really was Earl playing on the radio recording of "I'll Fly Away" that was posted on BHO, one BHO member suggested that the rest of us post our versions of the song. Being a cooperative person, I posted a recent version of mine, and this is the tablature for it, more or less. My version incorporates a little bit of a salute to the mystery player we have all agonized about -- and if you saw the video of Earl playing "I'll Fly Away" at Nat Winston's, you will probably agree that the mystery player on the tape is indeed Earl Scruggs. Also, near the end, it includes a tip of the hat to Bill Keith.

Notes: My attempt at "I'll Fly Away" as played in the movie "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou". This tab is in Sawmill tuning (G Modal). I capo up 2 and play in the key of C (C Modal?) which puts it into the key of D Modal, if that makes any sense. It's a simplified variation of the tab by David Marshall located @ http://www.hangoutstorage.com/banjohangout.org/storage/tabs/i/tab-ill-fly-away-11989-211438102009.jpg which he tabbed in Double C (Double D with capo). I've also included a link to the "Oh Brother" version in D that can be played along with to get the timing and melody, and added a page 2 for the measure pattern to play and the complete lyrics. I will attach this to the Gospel Lover's group and Beginner Clawhammer group.

Notes: This is one of Jim and Jesse's gems, recorded in the late 1950s, as far as I can tell, with Bobby Thompson on banjo. Thompson's break is straightforward and driving. My version is similar to his, although I have added a few embellishments, including the chorus.

Notes: Here is a gem from the Flatt and Scruggs canon. Several different banjo players have recorded excellent versions, including Earl Scruggs, Bill Keith, and J. D. Crowe. The tab is my version and comprises two breaks. The first break is down the neck and is the melody of the verse, which is the standard way of playing the song. The second break starts out up the neck, with the melody of the verse, and then goes down the neck for the melody of the chorus. I first worked this version out in the 1970s and still play it this way. I guess I am not very imaginative.

Notes: A Bill Monroe classic, recorded when Earl Scruggs with in the band. I wonder whether Monroe had this in mind as a vehicle for Earl's "fancy banjo" when he wrote the tune. I have tabbed out two breaks. The first sticks close to the melody, although I did throw in a little melodic sequence at the end. The second break is more out there and includes a high part that I really like, as well as an ending that you may find useful in other songs.

Notes: This is a great old tune by Reno and Smiley. I have tabbed out two up-the-neck breaks. The first sticks pretty close to the melody; the second departs a bit and includes some licks that you might find useful in a variety of tunes. If you go to the Music section on my BHO web page, you will find a track of this song, from a practice tape by my band Silver Spring, recorded in Vancouver, B.C., in the mid-1970s. The second break in the tablature is the one on the track. On the recording, we played in A; so just capo up 2 and play it as tabbed in G. Note that the last D chord is a bit tricky, because it involves alternating the index and middle fingers while picking the first string. Although difficult, the lick is worth mastering, because you can use it in lots of tunes. The melody in the lick is played on the first string and involves a descending melodic sequence (D --> C --> B --> A --> G) embedded in a repetitive rhythmic pattern, as follows, with the melody string IN CAPITALS: ONE--three--two--one--ONE--three--two-one---ONE-three--two--one, and so on.

Notes: Bill Monroe wrote this "true" song about revisiting his childhood home on Jerusalem Ridge in Kentucky. It is a good song for the banjo, and I have tabbed 3 breaks. The first stays close to the melody, and the others improvise a bit.

Notes: Basic "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" tab arranged for Open G tuned 5-string Banjo from guitar tablature (found on Ultimate-Guitar.com). This tab is well suited for Don Reno Style (aka Single String Style) picking, but will need more work to get it to Melodic or Scruggs style picking patterns.

Notes: This tab is more or less the basic break as played by Don Reno on Don Reno, Founding Father of the Bluegrass Banjo, CMH-Records, 2001. Originally the tune appears in the key of A. I am using a capo on the second fret and I am aware the fact, that Don Reno didn't. However: The best way to figure out a tune is to play along with the record.

Notes: Here are several of my breaks for a wonderful bluegrass tune that I first heard played by Earl Taylor and the Stoney Mountain Boys. I'm surprised that it has not been recorded by more bluegrass groups. The arrangement includes some D licks and some tags that you might find useful for other tunes as well.

The lyrics were written by Ludwig Uhland (1787-1862) and put to music by Friedrich Silcher (1789-1860), who based the melody on an old Swiss folk song. Thanks to drifter (Chris) for corrections!

Notes: The old Italian/French song, "J'attendrai", arranged for Reno-style (labelled Scruggs, but really more Reno-ish) banjo. Also, it's labelled jazz, but it's really a Jazz tune arranged for bluegrass banjo; the chords are authentic though. Taken from Django Reinhardt, Stephane Grappelli, & the Hot Club de France's movie from 1939. The ending is played by planting the heel of the right hand behind (above) the strings, & brushing upward in rapid succession (eight notes) with the index & middle fingers; this is hard, but definitely doable with practice. The Django-style run can be played with thumb & index up to a certain speed, and can probably be played at faster speeds with all three fingers though I do not play this way. Have fun!

Notes: This is a little-known Don Reno banjo tune, Jacknife-in'. He actually played it at only a medium tempo, but this version here is blazing fast in the manner of Jeremy Stephens, who recorded it for his CD, "Scarlet Banjo". Some of these breaks here are based on some of his breaks, and some are my own. Due to the tempo, single string work, and some very quick changing of positions this is quite a difficult piece. Single string work is TITI. It's labled Open G (gDGBD), but it has the 5th capoed up 2 (at the 7th fret) for aDGBD, in the key of D. Also, it's labeled "scruggs", but it's really "Reno" style. Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun!

Notes: This is a tune from legendary Kentucky fiddler John Salyer. This is an unusually 'crooked" tune, in that it is missing a beat in the coarse part, but adds the beat back in later in the fine part. I have a video posted of this tune on my homepage.

Notes: Inspired by Noam Pikelny's bluegrass version of Kenny Baker's classic fiddle arrangement, I undertook to get as close as I could to Baker's arrangement using the clawhammer style in a G modal (or Sawmill) tuning, capoed at the second fret and fifth string capoed up to an A.

Notes: A complete transcript of Kenny Baker's fiddle part for 5string banjo (single string). Open G tuning for this fiddle part (optional capo 5th fret for original recording in C/Am) if so the total span of the banjo, lowest to the highest frets are used. Also included is the actual banjo backup part with a separate tab. This banjo is tuned down in Em (eBEGB = -3-3-3-4-3) as in the original recording (same option of capo 5th fret rendering Am aEACE). I have included midis and mp3s in Em and also original Am. In memory of Kenneth Clayton Baker (June 26, 1926 – July 8, 2011)

Notes: This is my take on the beautiful version of Jerusalem Ridge recorded by Butch Robins on his classic album "The Fifth Child." Robins's version is similar to Bob Black's, which Jack Baker provided a wonderful tab for quite some time ago, but it differs in subtle ways and is, to my ear, closer to Kenny Baker's version on the fiddle.

Notes: by Bradbury/Warner. Arrangement by Wayne Conrad. My first tab. While watching TV and goofing around with this tune, I was trying to come up with some way to vary the "bum ditty" to keep the arrangement from sounding repetitive. I stumbled on the idea of playing the "ditty" using two quarter notes instead of two eight notes. The first half of this song is done with the usual "bum ditty," but the second half uses the two-quarter-note "bum ditty" wherever the word "me" occurs in the lyrics. These are all half notes or dotted half-notes in the melody, and a great place for a slower rhythm. I'm sure this is an old idea in clawhammer, but it's new to me. I hope you enjoy it.

Notes: Jig version of "Greenfields of America". Well, there is a little bit of that theme, but it's not as strong as I suspected it would be, but it's a fun jig to play in any case. Fingering for jigs is always "M-something-M M somthing-M", where that something is a hammer-on, a pull-off, or a drop-thumb. If there are exceptions I indicate it. In this tune there are two up-picks and two measures that have M-M-M M-M-M. Other than that, pretty easy to play. Oh, the source was "The Dance Music of Ireland, O'Neill's 1001", number 206. Enjoy!

Notes: Tossed out this morning in response to a request for it. Largely melodic style Errors may and probably are included, and there may be easier ways to play it than written here. Note: in segments like Measure 14, where you see the fourth, third, second and first string played sequentially, the way to handle that is with a square roll (T-I-T-M).

Notes: Jingle Bells (AKA One Horse Open Sleigh) was composed by J. Piermont in 1857. Here is an attempt to illustrate how the tune may have been played around 1880-1890 during the socalled classic banjo era. Its played in the classic banjo style or "guitar style" that is based on the use of three (sometimes four finger)

Notes: A little known Celtic style tune that I learned from Cotswolds' fiddler Matt Gryspeedt, arranged for melodic style banjo. Matt believes it was written in New York by an expat Irishman, but has been unable to find absolute confirmation of its origin. The move G to Bm is fairly unusual in Irish music. Nice tune, rocks along quite well. I have uploaded the TablEdit file as well as the straight notation for the benefit of fiddle players(pdf) and the tab & chords in pdf also.

Notes: There are some terrific versions of John Hardy out there in different tunings. I am thinking of Eric Weissberg's version on "Folk Banjo Styles," an Elektra LP from 1961. Alan Munde also a very interesting version that Lee Marcus has provided a tablature for on BHO. My version is in good ole G tuning, the default tuning of bluegrass banjo. I have included 4 breaks. The B part on several of them is challenging and will require some work. Altogether, there is probably more variation here than I would use on stage or in a jam, and I include it just to show you the possibilities. One aspect to note is that melody notes on the high break (# 3) are played on the first string with the middle finger. This may seem counter-intuitive, but it works.

Notes: Similar to my original setting, here I include intervallic variation (both parts) and rhythmic variation, incorporating a string of triplets in the B part. The "short" (fiddle) rolls or graced triplets in the first part of my first setting are now replaced by a pair of 16th notes and an 8th note, and are typical Scottish fiddle ornaments used for reels and hornpipes. This tune could be turned into a Scottish strathspey by inserting Scots snaps (reverse dotted pairs) and dotted-eighth-note combinations.

Notes: This is from the version in Ryan's Mammoth Collection. You have to do a few techniques like alternate string pick-offs, a 2 note m-finger arpeggio, and fretting the fifth short string. There are three spots where I do a quick-up pick. I have fairly small hands, and this is the only way I can get the necessary volume on the high bs, but you might be able to do a hammer-on with your pinky for a more consistent melodic clawhammer style.I see that O'Neil's Music of Ireland (the 1850 melodies one) has a version, number 1437, that has some grace notes, tripplets, and "c"s raised to "c#s". I haven't explored that one yet... We'll see what happens...

Notes: Here's my arrangement of a neat fiddle tune mostly heard in clawhammer circles. It is on Philip Mann's web site in Tabrite and I see there is a link to it from Hangout. I've redone it in TablEdit. It was one of my first ventures into playing in C out of an open G tuning. Actually got published in BNL. Uses Munde-style technique.

Notes: This is a note for note transcription of how Bill Keith played this tune on his "Something Auld, Something Newgrass, Something Borrowed, Something Bluegrass" album. Both banjo breaks are included along with the backup for the mandolin and fiddle. In other words, the tab is written such that you can follow along with the recording. Chords are notional, i.e. not necessarily exactly what the banjo is playing at any given moment, but what I think the basic chords are for the general tune, for each bar. Adjust settings so that chords are displayed as letter names only. Also, this tab is intended to be displayed at 4 bars per line. I just found out yesterday, from my Dad, that Bill Keith had died the day before. I wish I had a recording to upload instead, but this is the best I can do for now, to honor one of the great pillars of modern banjo music and technique.

Notes: This is the arrangement featured on The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy movie soundtrack. It can either be played in 3-finger style, or flatpicked (if you're proficient with a flat pick, that is). The tuning is Open Cm (c C G C Eb); the fifth string is tuned to a high-C note (you'll need a fifth-string capo to achieve this pitch). There are two midis provide. The first midi gives you the sound of each string in the Cm tuning. The second midi follows the tab note for note.

Banjo is tuned to an Open Cm tuning with the fifth string tuned to a high-C note (c C G C Eb). NOTE: The tuning changes to an Open C tuning at the end of the song.

Notes: A traditional fiddle tune that works well on the banjo. Don Stover played only backup on Doc Watson's recording of June Apple, and this inspired me to work out a lead break for it. Many years later I heard Bill Keith play it, and I modified my version slightly to incorporate one of his ideas (the following chromatic lick: second string sixth fret --> first string fourth fret --> fifth string). The tab is in open G, and normally one would play it capoed up 2 frets, to A.

Notes: I always admired the twin fiddle break, played by Tommy Jackson and Buddy Spicher, on Doc Watson's version of June Apple. This is a version for twin banjos, with one banjo playing lead and the other playing harmony. Although I have tabbed it out in the key of G, you would normally capo up 2 and play in the key of A (otherwise the fiddle players will not like you).

Notes: Here is an original tune I wrote for my middle daughter. I deliberately and systematically worked up the A part, but did not know what to do to finish off the tune. The B part came to me in a dream, believe it or not. I awakened with the melody fresh in my head, and ran to grab a banjo and play it before it faded.

Notes: I'm a beginner and two versions of this song I had weren't to my liking so I downloaded the demo to TablEdit and started working on this. It worked out so well (I think...) that I decided to get the pay copy of TableEdit, do a real nice version and post it here. It's fairly easy and straightforward except you can't really do phantom hammers in TablEdit that I know of so in the few spots where it looks like there is some drop thumb, just play them as phantom hammer-ons instead. Of course, you can probably drop thumb these parts, too, if you like.

Notes: This is a STUDY provided to assist in discussion of driving backup on the Playing Advice forum. Transcription is from a slowed version of the song from Rhonda Vincent and the Rage's "Ragin' Live" album. I believe the first 29 measures or so are a reasonably accurate reflection of what Kenny Ingram played during the kick and first verse. I am less confident in the B part (starting at measure 30); there was a lot of artifact in the original recording I was working from and while the banjo in the recording is still providing pulse it's a little hard to hear all the subtleties under the harmony vocals.

The second midi follows the tab note for note. The midi is played at half speed to facilitate learning.

Notes: I learned this nifty little traditional tune from my Friday night jam buddies. Thanks to Neil, Dennis, and Len. Two things I really like about the tune: First, the melody has some unexpected twists and turns that appeal to me. Second, the A part is in the key of A major, whereas the B part downshifts to A minor.

Notes: "The story of my old rooster" by Yvon Mimeault from his CD "Y'etait temps". This is a Quebecois tune that is played often in the Olympia session. According to the story, when Yvon was young he walked across the farmyard and was attacked by the old rooster. Yvon, with injured leg and pride, pulls out his sling-shot and faces the rooster. As the beast turns its head sideways to look him in the eye — roosters turn sideways for a face to face — Yvon takes a shot. The bird, hit in the head, falls to the ground. Yvon, after making sure nobody saw him, leans it against a fence where he can discretely keep an eye on it. After a while, the rooster, who was only knocked out, gets up and staggers back to the henhouse, to the relief of Yvon. The next morning, as usual, the old rooster hopped on a fence to wake up the whole farm, but he was now singing out of tune.

Notes: This is a Québécois tune, written in the 1930s by Joe Bouchard [no - not the Blue Oyster Cult bassist, but a Joséph Bouchard, of Quebec] that I thought could benefit from a banjo arrangement. I originally thought it was a Cajun tune, as I first heard it by Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys on their fantastic album "Trace of Time". This arrangement is a transcription (more or less) of Dave Greeley's 1st fiddle solo from that recording. It's not terrifically easy but is attainable - and it sounds great when you get it up and running! Have fun.

Notes: A long long time ago in a galaxy far far away, Lady of Spain was one of the first complex tunes I worked out an original break for, perhaps after hearing Allen Shelton play with Jim and Jesse at the University of Chicago Folk Festival, in 1966 as I recall. Three things to note about my arrangement: First, the break opens and closes with a vamp pattern. The song is a standard number on the accordion ("Turn off the bubble-a machine-a!"), and it just sounded more complete to me with a cheesy intro and exit. Second, I am playing F chord notes against the first D minor chord; hence it becomes a D minor 7th. Again, it just sounded right to me at the time, and still does. Third, the V chord -- i.e., G -- progresses to a G augmented. If you're going to go cheesy you might as well go whole hog (if I might mix my metaphors). So put on your dancing shoes, strap on the old accordion, and everybody polka.

Notes: Also known as "Leather Britches," this is a great jam tune. I love the pinches in Part A, because they give it extra drive. Perhaps the only tricky bit is found in measures 10 and 26, and I have indicated the right-hand picking pattern, which involves playing the 2nd string with the thumb and then crossing over and playing the 3rd string with the index finger, a pattern than Alan Munde occasionally uses (at least to my ear) to good effect.

Notes: This is a gorgeous solo that Lester Young (aka "Prez") played in 1950 over the chord changes to "pennies From Heaven." Clicking the youtube link should get you there. Performance notes and further discussion are on my BHO blog page. Enjoy!

Notes: My melodic arrangement of Liberty arose after hearing some friends playing twin fiddle on it. Somehow the arrangement for banjo popped into my head, and I wrote the thing in about 10 minutes. Note that it is in the key of D, but I play it out of conventional G tuning. This works for several other fiddle tunes in G, including Whiskey Before Breakfast.

Notes: Yes, it's Limehouse Blues (a jazz tune) and it's in Ab (without a capo), but this is a bluegrass version complete with some standard Reno variations. Has a bluegrass guitar rhythm track & a bass rhythm track. The rolling parts aren't that hard, actually, but the single string can be a little tricky. The double stops are played by brushing down on the strings with your thumb.

It's in drop C tuning, and I have only tabbed the instrumental breaks as the verses are the same minus the melody, plus I only have a demo version of tab edit, which has restrictions on the bars I can export...

Notes: This is the way I play the song in the key of G (the key of D is another story), and it varies in subtle ways from the other versions posted on BHO. For example, I emphasize forward rolls, to give it extra punch, and I suspect that you will find the G-D-G turnarounds to be useful in lots of tunes. It's too bad that Earl did not take a break when he recorded it with Monroe in 1947 or so.

Notes: Here is an intermediate banjo solo for Bill Monroe's "Little Cabin Home on the Hill." It's pretty straightforward, employing the use of several classic Earl Scruggs licks. Mastering some of the classic elements of this solo can help the intermediate player prepare for a more advanced level.

Notes: A tune I wrote many years ago for a banjo player who used to come to our weekly jam, Jimmy found learning the banjo very hard and eventually give it up, but I always admired his efforts.

Notes: Ralph Stanley's version of this song from the Hard Times LP. I tabbed out all three of the banjo breaks even though they are similar, and the dissappointing ending. But wait, there's more...I have included - at no extra charge - Chords for your guitar buddy to strum along...all that for one low low price!!!

Notes: When I teach Little Maggie to beginning or intermediate banjo students, I first get them to find the melody notes and play them in time, without ornamentation. Then I show them this basic version, which fleshes out the arrangement with rhythm notes (i.e., rolls) as well as melody. Later I get them to try a more advanced arrangement, with Scruggs breaks, a melodic break, and high breaks.

Notes: This version of Little Maggie is in D Modal tuning (aDGAD), basically the same idea as G "Sawmill" tuning, in that the string normally tuned to the 3rd degree of the scale is raised instead to the 4th degree; in this case, the 3rd string, normally F# in Open D tuning, is raised to G.

Notes: Stuff that might make this tune more difficult: Besides the syncopations, there are open-string pull-offs in measures 8, 9, 10, and 17. Big Scioty, which commemorates the Scioto River, is one of my favorite tunes, made especially special since it runs through Columbus, Ohio where I used to live. At some point, I decided that the Olentangy, the smaller of the Columbus' two rivers (they join near downtown) deserved its own tune, so I made up this one, Little Olentangy (Composed on the fiddle by Chuck Levy © 2006, arranged for the banjo © 2012). According to Wikipedia, the river now known as the Olentangy was originally known as the "Keenhongsheconsepung" which literally translated as "stone for your knife stream" based on the shale found along its shore. Early settlers translated this to "Whetsone River". In 1833, the Ohio General assembly passed legislation intending to restore the original native American names to some Ohio waterways, but mistakenly gave Whetstone River the name "Olentangy", Delaware for "river of red face paint" which had actually belonged to the river that is now known as Big Darby Creek. Little Olentangy appears on Scratching and Clawing, my first CD, on Red Dog Records, 2006. I am playing clawhammer style, on a Bart Reiter banjo. The pot is an old Vega Tubaphone, with a new 5-string neck.

Notes: I first heard SilasBanjo play this on You Tube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlDuk5NLprQ) and fell in love with it (It's been my ringtone ever since!) I went in search of a TAB to help me learn it and eventually pieced together a version, just ever-so slightly different from his wonderful version. It evolves each time I play it, but it's very catchy. This is my latest incarnation (but one - changed the b-part to be more like the Silas one). I believe the original writer to be Michael Fox, but correct me if I'm wrong!

Notes: Here is a nifty break by Bill Keith, from the Keith and Rooney album of the same name. When I first heard it, in 1963 or 1964, I was quite impressed. It is simple and elegant, and it contains some novel ideas (for the time). Keith and Rooney played it in A#/Bb, and I have tabbed it in that key.

Londonderry Air is the nane is the name of the tune the lyrics of "Danny Boy" are set to. It's the first tune I learned to play on my banjo. I hope someone finds this tab useful. Both the MIDI and the mp3 were computer generated.

Notes: This version of Lonesome Fiddle Blues is a bit unorthodox, but really sounds cool if you can play it moderate to quick, or hear it through the Guitar Pro player. I put some odd ball stuff in this one. It's one full break, starting in Dm, then part 2 in G, and then repeating the first part.

Notes: Transcribed from the playing of John McEuen on the Will The Circle Be Unbroken (Vol. I) album. Second 'B' part variation from a later Vassar Clements recording featuring a break by McEuen. Capo all the way up to the 7th fret.

Notes: The classic Kenny Baker/Bill Monroe fiddle tune. A beautiful, interesting melody. I've never heard another banjo interpretation of it. This is mine. I hope you like it. [NB. Spike the 5th to A]

Notes: Here are three of my breaks to Love Come Home, all including some moderately difficult licks. Pay particular attention to the C and D chords -- the latter includes a couple of licks I associate with Bill Keith's playing. Note also that the trick in the first IV (C) chord of the third break is to emphasize the alternation between the first string 2nd fret and first string open -- this alternation is the effect I am trying to achieve. I highlighted this in the MIDI by selecting "ringing note" for those notes.

Notes: This is the title song from the children marionette theatre play "Jim Knopf & Lukas, der Lokomotivführer" ("Jim Button & Luke the Engine Driver, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpSlht21WI4) arranged in the melodic style. I arranged this tune for several reasons: I loved to watch the series when I was a child, my daughter loves to watch it now and I have been playing some melodic style material for some time now so I decided I could arrange this tune as an exercise. Massive public demand for an arrangement of this tune certainly was not the reason... ;)

Notes: The A part is quite easy, but the B part I found tricky - getting the high 'b' and keeping the pedal going. I've tried to arrange the B part to make the left-hand fretting as efficient as possible so that it can be played at 'session speed'! I shift (left hand) position on the open strings at the last beat of the 1st bar, after first beat of 2nd bar, last beat of 2nd bar, 2nd beat of third bar (going to a half bar on the 9th fret) etc.

Notes: Here is an almost bare bones arrangement (standard notation) for the traditional reel in D major. Notice how I use an F# in spots (not the usual B-note). I've also changed a commonly played triplet (B-part) to two 16th notes followed by an 8th note, which has more punch, less bounce, than the triplet. It's called a "treble" no matter how it is notated.

Notes: Here is a sample tab of the G major scale and C major scale for banjo. The question of scales comes up often, so this demonstrates my approach to teaching scales. You may play scales on single strings. However, that doesn't have much practical application for bluegrass playing. The idea is to play rolls, so, I believe scales should be practiced that way. Here is the simple rule to follow: never play the same string twice in a row; never use the same finger twice in a row.

Notes: I took the Manzanita Guitar transcription that was here, added a banjo staff and basically copied everything over initially... If I lost a note due to being out of the banjo's register (C natural or an A, on the low end), I moved that note UP an octave... In the end, I found that a lot of what was being played 'in position' was just as easy, if not easier, to play in open position... In those few cases, I moved those parts to the open position, making sure simultaneously, that they 'fit in' with what preceeded and followed those sections, for smooth playing throughout... I also found that the addition of a few hammers and pull-offs (slurs) made certain passages flow better, so I added those... I could never have figured this tune out by ear alone, so Rick Diesel's copy from a guitar original helped get us on the road and on the right path... The rest fell on my 40+ years experience playing guitar, reading music, transcribing experience and finally banjo playing ability... And being very familiar with Tony's amazing musical senses and guitar playing abilities... I genuinely hope this now Tabledited piece helps the folks who seek it out... MartinLuther1960

Notes: Marching Through Georgia was written by Henry Clay Work in 1865 to celebrate the Union "March to the Sea" led U.S. Major General William Tecumseh Sherman from November 15, 1864 to December 21, 1864 culminating in the capture of the Port of Savannah. Mark recorded Marching Through Georgia with Emory Lester for the CD, Acoustic Rising, released on the Mountain Home label in 2006. On the CD, Mark told me, he placed a capo on the 5th fret of his banjo tuned in double C (gCGCD) raising the banjo's pitch to the key of F. To make my job of transcribing this tune into tab easier, I asked Mark to play without the capo.

Notes: Here's a fairly easy arrangement of a Beatles classic in a chord melody style. The verse is in D and the chorus is in Dm. Don't let the chord names scare you, they're mostly two or three note shapes, with not too many big stretches. Hope you enjoy it!

Notes: An arrangement for clawhammer banjo of a tune found in an 18th century Welsh fiddler's manuscript. This tune is #51 in "Alawon John Thomas," a modern edition of the manuscript. Edited by Dr. Cass Meurig. This tune is most likely John Thomas's interpretation of a minuet written by Jean-Claude Leclair.

Notes: Based on the playing of Mark Casstevens, this is the banjo arrangement from the Ray Stevens recording. You'll need to capo all the way up to the 7th fret to match the recording.

Notes: M&T is a traditional song that Bill Monroe arranged and made his own. A number of great banjo players have tackled it: Earl Scruggs, Don Stover, Bill Keith, Craig Smith, J. D. Crowe, Lamar Grier, and the list goes on. I have tabbed out 3 breaks, 2 down the neck and 1 up the neck (a la Don Stover). Have fun.

Notes: This is from Briggs' Banjo Instructor, published in 1855. In the original notation the banjo was tuned dGDF#A, and the tune was played i D major. I have transcribed it to aEAC#E (standard G tuning with capo on second fret) to play in the key of A, which seems to be the most common key for other versions of Money Musk.

Notes: This is another classic fiddle tune written by Bill Monroe that is an excellent vehicle for the banjo. I have tabbed out a relatively straightforward arrangement with nothing too flamboyant. I included two versions of the B part, the first up the neck and the second down low. Both work well, but I have found that the second is easier to play when poor lighting on stage prevents me from seeing the position markers on the neck.

This is a realy nice tuning for playing in D and doing some oldtime tunes. Tuning is from Dwight Diller and the tune is an original song I wrote for the boys down in Morrow County, Ohio.

Notes: Tune I wrote a while back. The X's on the tab are simply brush skips. I put them in instead of just having rests because it emulates the sound of the thumb hitting the head (or the fingerboard if you are frailing up on the neck) during playback in Tabledit. Moderate amount of drop-thumb. *UPDATE* added guitar and bass backup

Notes: Mr Sandman was recorded by the Chordettes in 1954, although it had previously been recorded by Vaughn Monroe -- no relation to Bill Monroe, I think – and his Orchestra in the same year. Steve Arkin has stated that Bill Keith had an arrangement of the song in the early 1960s, although I have never heard Keith’s version (and would love to, if anybody has a recording). In any case, several years ago I finally worked up an arrangement of my own, and I just got around to the tablature, posted here. It took me about one month to tab it out – a real pain – but I think I finally got it close to right. I borrowed the idea for the ending from an excellent tab by Jack Gentle Jr. (aka MickG) that was posted in the Tab Archive some years ago, and I gratefully acknowledge it here. When you work through the tab, you will find unusual D13 and D7 chord positions in measure 24 and elsewhere. Here I made use of Sonny Osborne’s brilliant creation of a pedal steel–like chord progression that he demonstrates in his Homespun Tapes video.

Notes: When I heard this, just had to get it in tab form. Was given this easier version in note format and have transcribed into tab (an octave higher). Tab and notes on the sheet. My first submission to the tab collection. I hope you like and comments welcome. Dave.

Notes: This quirky tune from the Penquin Cafe Orchestra has found its way into mainstream Irish and Celtic music as a reel. I've put it back to its original keys, and it can be capoed up two or four frets.

Notes: I now have a harmony part for this, tab to follow. I had put it back to its original keys, and it can be capoed up two or four frets. Start with capo 2 for Irish Trad sessions because it begins and ends in the key of D. It's easy on the 5-string, and it’s a fabulous tune closert, a real crowd-pleaser. It works for Sharon Shannon among others.

Notes: I worked up this tab of Don William's sentimental ballad in response to an appeal in the Tab Request forum. Here's the link to the discussion: http://www.banjohangout.org/topic/273079. The OP described himself as a novice, so I kept the banjo at a beginner/intermediate level. You do need to know how to move around up the neck with your basic closed chord forms, and it helps if you are a soft-hearted old goat, like the OP and I. I based the back-up very loosely on what the piano and guitar are doing on the video that was posted in the request thread.

Notes: This is a note for note transcription of how Earl Scruggs played this tune on the "Country Music" album, Mercury 20358, or The Bear Family's Flatt & Scruggs 1948-1959, disc 1. All lead breaks and backup are included. One item of interest is that, several times in this tune, Earl employs a pretty wicked lick that covers 3 chord positions (inversions of the same chord) to go from a I7 chord to a IV chord, and from a V7 chord to a I chord. You have to jump all over the neck to play it, and the distance your hand has to jump changes significantly, depending which transition you are playing, because the notes are much more closely spaced in the upper part of the neck, than in the lower part. It tends to foil muscle memory. The tab is written such that you can follow along with the recording. Adjust settings so that chords are displayed as letter names only and tab is displayed at 4 bars per line. The blank 3 measures preceding each verse are skipped when the tab is played with the MIDI player, using the Reading List tool. They are only there to maintain the chord pattern such that each verse starts at the beginning of a line.

Notes: This is my five string banjo interpretation of Mother Maybelle's guitar break on the Carter Family's My Dixie Darling, recorded in June, 1936 for Decca Records. Note the ghost hammers- this involves hammering on the 4th string, 2nd fret with the left hand without picking it first with the right hand. There is also some Reno style single string phrasing on the D chord.

Notes: This song is great, Capo goes on 4, tune 5th string up to A. I couldn't find a tab of it, so I decided to make one myself. I hope this helps some people. Feel free to make any improvements, like a more comprehensive tab for the guitar part too would be nice.

Notes: My first attempt at Grandpa Jones tune "Grandfather's Clock" with lyrics and a link to a YouTube version to play along with. To ge the timing and feeling for the song, you should listen to Grandpa's version. It is played in the Key of A, so Capo up from G tuning or tune up to A. I added a page 2 for complete lyrics and the progression Grandpa plays with alternate measures. The chime measures are included but not needed, as well as the Rest measures.

Notes: If you've ever REALLY listened to Earl playing Nashville Blues on the Will The Circle Be Unbroken album, halfway through the song another banjo steps in the background and plays harmony (of sorts) to Earl's lead. This is John McEuen's 2nd banjo part to that song. NOTE: Song is in the key of Dm, banjo in Open Gm tuning, capo at 7th fret.

Notes: The Frank Wakefield mandolin tune, "New Camptown Races", arranged for melodic style banjo key of Bb, uncapoed. It's very hard, IMO, to get it to sound really smooth but it still sounds really good. No fancy ending for this one :P With Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. The triplets are played by carefully brushing your thumb down across the strings in time with the triplet.

Notes: Jean Luc Ponty's New Country. It's a great progressive style tune for the banjo. Timing is strange since Ponty will go from 4/4 time to 3/4 time over the VI an V chords and then back to 4/4. So watch out for that. It's played in the key of A, but I've tabbed it in G so you'll need to Capo 2.

Notes: Here is the setting (for my mp3) using Double D tuning (Double C-Capo II) for ‘New Five Cents’, the Old Time reel that goes under interchangeable titles. The titles create confusion since there are two main branches in Old Time and further regional, local and bluegrass variants. The A Part is pretty close in most versions with one noticeable variation – either dipping down to an A-note or rising up to F# in the second and sixth measures. This variation is found in both Old Time and Bluegrass versions and a G chord is sometimes played in these spots. It’s in the B Part (fifth and sixth measures) where the melodic contour branches in one of two directions – either dipping down from the fifth (A) to the tonic (D)/D chord, or, as Paul Warren played it (New Five Cents), using a G-note double-stop with a B-note)/G chord, then up to an A-note/A chord and moving upwards happily in major second intervals. Many (but not all) Old Time versions (‘New Five Cents’, ‘Ruffled Drawers’ or ‘Buffalo Nickel’) tend to keep dipping down to the low D-note/D chord and use fewer chords than Bluegrass versions which are based on Paul Warren’s version.

Notes: I've had numerous requests for a tab of my arrangement of New Railroad. I've been hesitant to do it, because of my lack of ability at transcription. So what you'll find in this tab is an arrangement similar to what's in the video, but probably not exact. Also, I don't tab all the open strings that just happen when I play, so you'll have to flesh that out. Have fun!

Notes: Irish Polkas can be somewhat boring musically, although you can play them quite vigorously and audiences usually tends to like them. This is one I decided to tab from a slow session that I play in. I believe I found a new purpose for this polka when it comes to banjo playing. This polka could be renamed "A Study in Alternate String Pull-Offs". Working on technique can be quite boring, but when you have a little tune behind it it becomes fun again. Almost every measure of this piece can be played with one or two alternate string pull-offs. If you have your hand is in first position, then you will practice the alternate string pull-off with your index finger. If you shift to the second position, then the alternate string pull offs are now down with the middle finger. So, play this tune to get a work-out and practice your alternate string pull-off technique! Have fun!

Notes: My tab comprises two breaks, the first close to Earl Scruggs's and the second more improvisational. Scruggs's break is one of the most straightforward and elegant of his early recordings with the Foggy Mountain Boys, and I love it. If you take a listen to the Foggies' recording, note that they tuned their instruments up a half step. Hence they sound like they are playing in G#, although they are playing out of G position.

Notes: This is my first transcription ever so there will be a lot of mistakes. I did this as an exercise because people on the BHO keep telling us beginners that transcribing recordings teaches a lot (haven't noted much of a change yet... ;). I chose "No Title Yet Blues" because I like it a lot and there are few tabs of it to be found. This is the 1st break from the Alan Munde recording, unfortunately I haven't got the original Weissberg/Brickman recording (I'd love to get that and the the other recording from the "New Dimensions" that aren't on the "Deliverance" soundtrack, if anyone knows where to find them...). The tuning turned out to be a D tuning with the 4th string dropped by a minor third to a B note. I wish I could play this tune well. Before this I had never played anything in D tuning (just got my banjo 8 months ago) so this will take me some time to play reasonably well... The tab was written using a free linux tab editor called songwrite2. Unfortunately it is still a very simple program which is why I couldn't add most of the embellishments.

Notes: Great banjo tune from Eric Weissberg and some other famous guys. Crazy aBF#AD tuning, sometimes I play it in open G, but I only tab out the classics for you guys. There is really one banjo break which is played then repeated after the guitar and fiddle solos with minor changes to the first break. So play through once, let your buddies take breaks and do it all again or improv on the 2nd break (that's what I do). Have fun. Here's the audio source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqYaIqQ3VYI

Notes: Another nice Scruggs/Bluegrass style tune by Bela Fleck. This was from one of the "Tasty Licks" albums (the 2nd one I think). Bela is so well known for the jazz and newgrass stuff that I think a lot of us forget that the man can lay down some really sweet bluegrass banjo as well.

Notes: On a cold clear Saskatoon night in November 1997, as I came out of a Bob Dylan concert I was stunned by a virtuoso performance by the Northern Lights, shimmering, crackling, and popping in the sky. I resumed working on some ideas I had been fooling with on the banjo and tried to capture the feel of the Lights, ending up with the tune I have tabbed out here. The ascending run of triplets was an attempt to convey the sense of the shimmering and rippling of the Lights. Note that the timing gets a little bit funky toward the end of the A part, but it works. A few years ago, with my band Knee Deep, I debuted the tune at, fittingly enough, the Northern Lights Bluegrass and Old-Time Music Festival here in Saskatchewan.

Notes: A version of O canada I cooked up. Up the neck section may appear more difficult than it actually is. Use basic major chord shapes (D shape, F shape and straight barre) and that's really all there is too it (except the very end of the up the neck where you'll use a couple of minor shapes for the last two descending chords). You can hear it on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJYiixdCN0w) or on my hangout page. Write me if you have any questions.

Notes: "O Holy Night" ("Cantique de Noël") is a well-known Christmas carol composed by Adolphe Adam in 1847 to the French poem "Minuit, chrétiens" (Midnight, Christians) by Placide Cappeau (1808–1877). Cappeau, a wine merchant and poet, had been asked by a parish priest to write a Christmas poem. Unitarian minister John Sullivan Dwight, editor of Dwight's Journal of Music, created a singing edition based on Cappeau's French text in 1855. It is also very popular in Sweden, and when making this arrangement I listened a lot to an old recording by the old Swedish tenor singer Jussi Björling.

Notes: Standard Session tune, played everywhere from Slow Sessions to full speed Sessions. Nothing too exciting, hopefully just a solid arrangement for 5-string clawhammer. Don't forget to play in hornpipe rhythm, and not straight eighth notes. Cheers!

Notes: "Old 1812" is a fife tune used in the sound track of the movie "The Outlaw Josey Wales". From what I've read it's based on a Revolutionary War piece entitled "Welcome Here Again". This has been transcribed from the key of D to G to better utilize standard banjo tuning. The large Roman numerals alert the player to fretboard position while the smaller numerals directly above the tab suggest left hand fingering. Right hand fingering is suggested as "t","i","m".

Notes: Source is "The Phillips Collection of Traditional American Fiddle Tunes". the A-part is in d-major, and the B-part is in a-mixolydian. Ken Perlman has a beautiful version in double-c tuning in his book "Melodic Clawhammer Banjo", capo-ed up two frets. This was my attempt to come up with an arrangement in standard open-g tuning, with the minor exception of putting in the 5th string high g-drone to a high-a. This can be accomplished quickly in a session, with for example a railroad spike.

Notes: An Irish pipe jig transformed into a CH banjo reel (by Mark Bickford). The tab is in "triple C" tuning (good for the drones of pipe tunes) so capo up one step to get to the usual key of D-myxolydian (D scale with C-natural).

Notes: Just what the world needs: One more version of Old Home Place. The only thing somewhat different that I introduce here is what I play on the first D chord (or whatever the "V" chord is if you capo this as many do). I don't recall what my inspiration was for that lick. Not claiming originality. Enjoy. -- Old Home Place by Mitch Jayne & Dean Webb

Notes: This is a fine old Flatt and Scruggs chestnut. Lester really cranked up his singing on this one, and the Bluegrass Album Band also does an excellent version with Tony Rice on the vocal. I have tabbed my interpretation of Earl Scruggs's break and of J. D. Crowe's break (with the BGAB). Scruggs's break shows his genius for capturing the melody without always relying on cliched licks or rolls. Crowe's break is derived from Scruggs's, but departs from it in subtle ways. Both are worth learning.

Notes: Normally played in A, with the capo at the second fret. The first break is similar to what Bill Keith, Eric Weissberg, and others played in the 1960s and contains that OJC run useful in so many tunes. The second break is more the way I play it today, with lots of drive coming from forward rolls (in Bill Keith's terminology; I used to call it "walking up the strings"). Either version is worth adding to your arsenal.

Notes: This tablature provides an approach to playing harmony to OJC. It opens with "eight potatoes" (as Steve Arkin named it), the riff that fiddle players open tunes with, but as approximated by the ole 5-string. My friends say that this particular harmony part has the flavor of the Middle East; so maybe it should be called "Mediterranean OJC." Whatever you call it, the harmony part is fun to play, and you will be able to come up with plenty of variations as you work it.

Am in tune, am I playing these basic bluegrass songs right, chuck old hen, old joe clark, I never heard them before. Hopefully with these kid songs, banjo players just opening their box will be able to relate to the song.

Notes: The Old Spinning Wheel is a lovely song, words and music written by Billy Hill. You can find numerous versions on youtube, including nice recordings by Slim Whitman and by Jimmy Wakely that provide a clear roadmap of the melody. I first heard it played on the 5-string by Jeremy Stephens in a video of 5 prewar Gibsons in Chris Cioffi’s shop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovfiyOPEvPI His playing inspired me to work up my own version, and I borrowed several of his ideas, particularly in the up-the-neck B part.

Notes: Inspired from the movie "Sargeant York" (one of my favorites) can be heard (and seen) @: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f68TdgErXkE This classic hymnal lyrics has many variations (I've provided a few of the better known ones. Repeat between the " : ", 1st round through can be repeated until the melody is learned, then add hammer-on's and pull-offs when you are comfortable. Will also list it as "Give me that old time religion" since there are no other clawhammer versions in G.

Notes: On and On is one of Bill Monroe's classic "true" songs, inspired by events in his own life. This arrangement is the way we play it in my band Knee Deep. The arrangement was influenced by Bill Keith's version, specifically the way he plays the IV (C) chord. Note that the V (D) chords and the tags contain some of my ideas that can be used in various other songs..

Notes: "Michael Ferrie wrote this tune after watching the family’s new kitten playing in the garden. The kitten bravely decided to tackle a large skorie (Herring Gull) and jumped on it’s back. The skorie not much impressed, took flight with the kitten aboard. Luckily for the kitten it managed to escape but not until the bird had flown several hundred yards down the field." Notes from the album Da Farder Ben Da Welcomer" by Fiddler’s Bid. I played it here on two banjos - Goldtone cello banjo and Ramsey standard. Here's a beautiful version of this tune by Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SE6HqAQehTE

This is a beginner version with a Youtube link to Richard Hefner's version in open G tuning, inlcuding lyrics. There are several versions of Jingle Bells posted, but none as the original title, so here it is. Simplify or get fancy as you see fit. I've posted the Richard Hefner link for now, I will post to my website when it becomes available. Linked to the Christmas Corner and Beginner Clawhammer groups.

Notes: The tenor banjo is tuned to open G tuning DGdg, there is capo on the 2nd fret. The first part (in the concert key of E) is played in D (chords D=0202, G=0000, A=2222), the second part (in the concert key of A) is played in G (chords G=0000, C=5520, D=0202). Feel free to change the rolls, as well as the filll-in licks/walking bass connecting parts (anyway, the vocal version has shorter connection between the words in the first part - adjust the number of walking bass measures by yourself). This is just one of possible versions how to play the melody in the first part and how to roll the harmony in the second part. The third part (also in the concert key of A, played thanks to capo in G) is missing but you are supposed to play some fill-in lick under the fiddle or harmonica solo - find them e.g. at http://banjosessions.com/?p=109 . The melody over the dominant A chord (concert B chord) in the first part is compromised - however if you have big hands, you can reach the actual melody note on the 6th fret (counted with capo) with your pinky while holding the barre with your index finger on the 2nd fret.

Notes: This is a clawhammer version of the Bluegrass fiddle classic Orange Blossom Special. There are 3 instrumental parts plus one optional vocal part. I have tried to get several variations of each part. You don't have to learn or play all variations - just choose those you like. Orange Blossom Special is a tune with opportunities and possibilities, so use your fantasy and creativity and make your own version. I have just tried to illustrate a few possibilities.

Notes: I wrote this melody for our contra dance band. It is based on the chord backup for a Scottish tune called 'Kohler's Hornpipe', which sounds a little like Pachelbel's Canon. Kohler's Hornpipe is sometimes called 'Pachelbel's Frolics'. The recording here is Greg Pelletier (banjo) and Jesse Partridge (guitar)

Notes: This is Ben Eldridge's banjo intro to "Pan American" from the Seldom Scene album "Old Train". A good friend of mine asked me to write this out for him, so I figured I'd just post it here. This is the first half - the last half is the same. I have tabbed this out in G in open G tuning. On the album it is in the key of B, which means you will have to capo up to the fourth fret to play this intro in the same key as the Scene. -John

Notes: Not a particularly interesting polka, but one that can be enthusiastically played by beginner and seasoned veteran alike, and usually quite appreciated by the audience. Banjo difficulty is somewhere between beginner and intermediate, but there are a few moderately difficult moves like the m-arpeggio and leading with a thumb in clawhammer style. This together with Britches Full Of Stitches, and Newmarket Polka, is an entire 3-song set of polkas with for the 5-string banjo in standard tuning - (capoed up two frets to match the fiddles.) Have fun wit' it b'ys!

Notes: This tab is my interpretation of how Bill Keith played the tune on the "Bill Keith and Jim Collier" album. Both banjo breaks are included along with the backup for the fiddle and mandolin breaks. In other words, the tab is written such that you can follow along with the record. Adjust settings so that chords are displayed as letter names only and tab is displayed at 4 bars per line.

Notes: π (sometimes written pi) is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of any Euclidean circle's circumference to its diameter. π is approximately equal to 3.14. π is an irrational number its decimal representation never ends and never repeats. I took the 204 first decimals and made music of. 1 became a G, 2 an A and som on so 8 became a high g (fifth string), 9 a high A and 0 a high B.

Notes: Yep. This is the way Roy plays it (for the most part). Roy's been known to switch it up, using different licks and different positions on the fingerboard, but, like I said, for the most part this IS his arrangement.

Notes: This tablature strays a bit from the traditional single string notation, because it follows the record recorded by Sonny Osborne at the age of 14 when he was a bluegrass boy. You may interchange the long notes for the more difficult single string notes if you wish. The tablature is not exactly as in the mp3, it is a bit simpler on page 2. Taught to me by Alan O'Bryant at Midwest Banjo Camp in 2011.

Notes: Here is Bill Monroe's classic instrumental. The first break approximates Earl Scruggs's version. The second break is an up-the-neck version (heresy! Earl did not play a high break), and the third break includes some melodic stuff that lets you keep the drive going while improvising a bit. Note that I am using Flatt and Scruggs's chord progression, where the 1 chord (G) and then the 5 chord (D) are played in measures 7 and 8, respectively. Monroe's original version held the 1 chord (G) in both measures 7 and 8, although he later played it with a 7 chord (F) and then 5 chord (D) in measures 7 and 8, respectively. I prefer Flatt and Scruggs's version, which is mid-way in complexity between Monroe's original stripped-down version and his later one. Although I have tabbed it out in the key of G, you would normally capo up 2 to play it in A.

Notes: Praying Arm Lane by 16 Horsepower I think the fingering is close, but the right hand rythm is complex and hard to single out in the mix on their album. Gave it my best shot, and I hope its not to far off :) Have fun! David plays it in his usual two fingered style.

Notes: Still haven't done fingerings and still not totally excited about the way I've got some of the passages, but I polished up the presentation a fair bit. There are a couple bits of the formatting I don't love, like the mile of space under the fermata on the last note, and there's a couple of staves that are right on top of each other, but I'm just learning the engraving software I'm using, so, well, yeah.

Notes: This tune is an arrangement for 5-string banjo based on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ef-4Bv5Ng0w note: the slurs represent the melody line (the highest note is the melody) and the slurs are extended to the value of time that the notes would be written out on a melody line in Standard notation. Listen to the tune if you don't know it to get a feel for how it goes. It's a great one, and will get you chicks at parties. Good luck.

Notes: Tuning: aEAC#E. This version of Pretty Little Cat comes from West Virginia fiddler Wilson Douglas. Named for president Woodrow Wilson, Douglas was born in 1922 on a farm in rural Clay County in an area known as Rush Fork. I did not know Wilson well, but did get to encounter him a few times. He had a fierce feeling and passion for old-time music that was moving and inspiring. Wilson Died at age 76 in 1999. Wilson recorded "Pretty Little Cat" on "Fiddle Tunes from Central West Virginia", with fine accompaniment of Kim Johnson on banjo and Mark Payne on guitar. Wilson's version has only one A and one B part. Lee Triplett, an older Clay County fiddler played a different melody that he called Pretty Little Cat.

Notes: Traditional tune, often played in Sawmill Tuning. I like to avoid retuning the banjo if I can, so here it is in standard tuning. The trick to keeping the modal sound is always to keep your right index working between the first and third fret of the second string

Notes: Dock Boggs' "Pretty Polly", from his original 1927 recording. Literal tuning is eCFGC, which is D-modal (f#DGAD) down a whole-step. Rather close to his version of "Danville Girl". This is a pretty easy tune, with simple three-finger rolls, typical of Dock's unique 3-finger style.

Notes: This tab has errors in it that I am not able to correct as a beginner (I'm learning TablEdit). If I move the cursor to the second string and press 0, then move to the right and press 2, then move to the first string and press 0, it shows up as 7-5-7 on the tab vice 0-2-0. The notes on the staff above are correct, and when played it sounds correct. Does anybody know what the problem is with the numbers shown on the strings? I'm sure it must be a mistake I made with some finger fumble on the keyboard, etc. See my post at: http://www.banjohangout.org/topic/289870/#3655135

Notes: This not my first tab transcription, but the first I'm posting to Banjo Hangout. This is a Bela Fleck song from the Natural Bridge album that a friend recently lent me, and so I learned one of the more Scruggsy/ straight ahead bluegrass songs from the album. I feel it has a nice and catchy sound to it. Anyway, here it is.

Notes: This is from the Muppet Show where my friend Kermit is singing the tune. Rainbow Connection is a tricky tune because it has a key change in the middle, where the orginal key is raised a halt tone. Here the tune starts in C major but in the second half there is a raise to Db major or C#major. I think the original goes in A major and raises to Bb major.

Notes: This is a mandolin tune written by Bill Napier when he was with the Stanley Brothers, who recorded it first as Daybreak in Dixie and later as Ralph's Banjo Special. To make matters even murkier, they recorded it once again as Daybreak in Dixie but with a slightly different chord progression in the A part. Whatever, it is a nice tune that works well in jams. I have tabbed it in G, but you should capo up 2 to A (because it was written on the mandolin).

Notes: This is how I hear Marshall Brickman's breaks from the Deliverance soundtrack, with chords for your guitar buddy, horrible ending and all, but otherwise a great rendition. It is in Open G Tuning, capo to 5th fret and 5th string is spiked at 9 and tuned up a half step to 'c' and the tab reflects this tuning (5th string). If you spike at 10(or if you play in B, A, or G) you must raise the 5th string tab by 1 fret (except the open ones). Here is a reference video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7evFA9FVCk Play it really fast and have fun

Notes: I have been teaching myself to play banjo for several months now, and wrote this song as a present for my mother, Rebecca, for her birthday. It is a short and simple tune, not difficult to play. Please feel free to modify it, or improve upon it as you wish; I only ask that if you make any changes or modifications to the tune, that you send me a recording of it...Thanks and enjoy!

Notes: I tabbed this MYSELF, so it might not look perfect. I spent about 2 hours trying to get the tuning and the basic chords right, then about 5-7 hours actually writing it down....then about 1-2 hours going through it over and over and over again trying to make sure that it sounds ok. The only problem of mine would be that I just could not for the life of me figure out how to make using the computer so i did it the old fashion way, everyone else's tabs look MUCH neater then mine does but i don't care, personally. I'm just glad i am able to share it with you guys. Hope it sounds okay and thanks so much to anyone using it, it honestly means so much!!! :) xx NOTE: This is based of of Taylor Swift's 'Red (Original Demo Recording)' that can be found on her RED Deluxe Edition CD. They are similar, but have some differences, mainly that this one sounds more country (in my personal opinion) Tuning Open-G, Lowered 5th string, PLAY WITH CAPO on 4 (without using a capo on the 5th string). I have found that i have to re-tune just a little when i put on the capo. When you have the capo on the tuning will be f#F#BEbF#

Notes: This song can be found on many banjo compilation albums released during the 1960s and ‘70s. The arrangement features a mixture of three-finger picking and clawhammer (see tab notes). G tuning, capo at the 5th fret.

Notes: Yeah, another version of RHB. This is a great old fiddle tune, played at almost all jams. I have tabbed out two breaks. The first is my attempt to capture the melody in standard "Scruggs" style (i.e., North Carolina three-finger style), with a few melodic riffs thrown in. The second is a more frankly melodic break. Lots of stuff here you can use in other tunes as well.

Notes: Redwing is a nice simple tune that is common in jams. However, for some reason it was never immediately obvious to me how to find the melody of the B part of Redwing. You could say that I had trouble winging it. Anyway, eventually I sat down and worked the B part up quite deliberately. The first break is pretty straight Scruggs style, whereas the second break is more improvisational.

Notes: This is a wonderful version of Redwing as played by John Apfelthaler. Check out the videos on John's BHO home page to hear him playing it. First time around is Scruggs style, followed by melodic and up the neck arrangements. The down the neck arrangemnt is reasonably straightforward while the melodic and up the neck arrangements are reasonably challenging.

Notes: This is my transcription of a tune composed and performed by BHO member Jim Reed, in a video he posted on 1/26/12. I was just discussing the tune with BHO member John Steele in the BHO Chatroom (6/15/15), and we disagreed about how Jim plays the opening measure of the B part. I went back and listened to it again, and decided John was right. So I have revised the tab accordingly.

Notes: This tab is based on Jim Reed's YouTube performance of his original tune - Reed's Hornpipe which can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1l5Hn3GEio&feature=plcp I downloaded the video, re-synced the audio and then extracted the audio to a separate file. The Amazing Slow Downer was used on the audio track while observing the video. This should be a pretty accurate transcription of Jim's performance. Chord shapes and fingerings are noted when appropriate. The style of this tune is Melodic Bluegrass. Enjoy! - Ric

Notes: This song has morphed into many different versions throughout the years. John McEuen first composed it in the 1960s as 'Dismal Swamp'. It later got some new life breathed into it when he rearranged it in the late-1970s and recorded it as 'White Russia' on the self-titled album 'The Dirt Band'. Later still it resurfaced once more in what we know today as 'Return to Dismal Swamp'. In my tab I've incorporated all the known versions of this song into one arrangement. It's a great banjo tune from the mind of John McEuen and it's worthy of your interest.

Notes: This is a note for note transcription of how Bill Keith played this tune on his "Something Auld, Something Newgrass, Something Borrowed, Something Bluegrass" album. There are similar, single solo, tabs in Tony Trischka's books "Melodic Banjo" and "Bill Keith Banjo," that certainly have enough info to play the tune similar to the way Bill did it. However, for those of you who are interested in all of the specific details, (or just can't stand it when the books leave them out) this should be exactly how Bill played it on the record. The tab is written such that you can follow along with the recording. Adjust settings so that chords are displayed as letter names only, and tab is displayed at 4 bars per line.

Notes: This is for Bill Keith, my hero, friend and mentor. Here is a legato arrangement in Celtic Fingerstyle (G tuning, no capo), not unlike Bill Keith's bluegrass version but adding rhythmic and melismatic ornamentation in the form of triplets and double cuts (double-grace notes). Enjoy!

Notes: This is a wonderful tune by Bill Monroe. My band has been known to have fun with the title -- "Road to Columbia," "Pathway to Peru," and so on. Anyway, the banjo break combines Scruggs style with melodic sequences, which are necessary if you have any hope of capturing the melody. In addition, melodic sequences are worth playing for their own sake, and I regret that they seem to have fallen out of favor with many current banjo players. I have included two versions of the B part, a low break and a high break. I play it either way, although the version low on the neck is easier when the stage is dark (and I can't see where the positions are higher up on the neck). To accommodate the fiddle, the tune is played in A, with the banjo capoed up 2.

Notes: My own version of the Bill Monroe/Kenny Baker tune off of the album Kenny Baker plays Bill Monroe. Hope you enjoy! Soon I'll also work out a tab that mimics the mandolin, and then hopefully can work out the actual banjo line from the album.

Notes: I wrote this tune in late 2009 and named it after one of my favorite paintings by my favorite artist, who I happen to be married to. (For a glimpse of her art, go to www.jancorcoran.com). The tune wrote itself as I fiddled -- okay, "banjoed" -- with the chord progression, and I managed to incorporate the use of Keith tuners. I hope you like it.

Notes: This version of Rocky Road to Dublin comes from Fiddler Wilson Douglas of Clay County West Virginia. Wilson was born in 1922 on a farm in rural Clay County in an area known as Rush Fork. Sometime in the early 1980’s, Kate Brett and I decided to visit some older players in West Virginia. We were looking for Wilson, and happened to stumble upon David Morris, who arranged a meeting. I did not know Wilson well, but he had a fierce feeling and a deep passion for old-time music that was moving and inspiring. Wilson Died at age 76 in 1999. Wilson recorded “Rocky Road to Dublin” on “The Right Hand Fork of Rush’s Creek”, Rounder Records 0047, recorded and produced by Guthrie T. Meade and Mark Wilson, 1975 , re-released on CD in 2005. Wilson plays this tune in the key of G on the recording. When I worked it out on the fiddle, it seemed to fit best with the fiddle tuned “GDgd”. The album notes say this: ‘The title has been used for at least one jig and a polka, presumably referring to the Irish city. Wilson says, “that tune was composed about Dublin, Virginia. That was the only trail at that time through Virginia and they named the town Dublin”’. Wilson’s recording actually starts on what I would call a fragment of the “B” part, and then goes to the “C” part, before going to the “A” part. (The tune ends on the “C” part). I have recorded the tune with the “A” part first, the “B” part second, and the “C” part third. The “A” and “C” parts repeat, but the “B” part is only played once. Towards the end of the recording, Wilson plays a variation on the “A” part. The first time I play through the tune, I play it straight, but the second time through, I play the “A” variation. For variety, I created some up-the-neck variations for the third time through before returning to the theme the last time around. Note that an “R” in the tab indicates a roll (Galax Lick), and “()” in the tab means the note is to be played quietly or may be skipped entirely, at the discretion of the banjoist. Allen Sisson recorded an entirely different melody titled “Rocky Road to Dublin”. Another version comes from Clyde Davenport.

Notes: Not everyone can sing Rocky Top in G, A, B flat, or B. One guy I have picked with (Vic the Butcher, who is the biggest ... but I digress) can sing it only in D. Well, it works well in D, in G tuning with the fifth string tuned up to A (slip it under the model railroad spike at the seventh fret). The only tricky bits in my arrangement are in the chorus. If you have difficulty figuring out how it should sound, give a listen to the TablEdit MIDI file.

Notes: This is an "etude" as much for me as anyone else - I'm studying "Bach language" and "banjo language," and playing around with modulation - all part of getting me where I want to go compositionally. I like it at quarter = 175, with the middle section a little slower. In any case I think a metronomic approach to this might not conform to "the composer's intent." I'll learn to play it and letcha know! :o) The chicago-capoed-at-the-fifth-fret tuning is because I originally wrote this on my ukulele. Copyright now, me.

Notes: This was copied from a pdf of a Jack Hatfield version "Roll in My Sweet Baby's Arms" is an American traditional song. It seems to have developed from lyrics in the cowboy song "My Lula Gal",[1] itself a development of bawdy British and Appalachian songs generally known as "Bang Bang Rosie" or "Bang Away Lulu.

Notes: This is a bluegrass classic, similar to Nine Pound Hammer. The first break is my interpretation of Joe Drumright's break on Bill Monroe's 1964 recording. The second break is my own. Monroe plays the song in the key of B.

Notes: Inspired from the movie "Outlaw Josie Wales", this tab delves heavily into drop-thumb. The drop-thumb measures are shown as alternate measures at bottom right. I've included the lyrics as song by Bobby Horton and a youtube link at bottom. Substitute the drop-thumb measures to add melody to the tune as you get comfortable with the song.

Notes: Here is a straightforward setting using Double D tuning (Double C-Capo II) for the Old Time reel that goes under interchangeable titles. The titles create confusion since there are two main branches in Old Time and further regional, local and bluegrass variants. The A Part is pretty close in most versions with one noticeable variation – either dipping down to an A-note or rising up to F# in the second and sixth measures. This variation is found in both Old Time and Bluegrass versions and a G chord is sometimes played in these spots. It’s in the B Part (fifth and sixth measures) where the melodic contour branches in one of two directions – either dipping down from the fifth (A) to the tonic (D)/D chord, or, as Paul Warren played it (New Five Cents), using a G-note double-stop with a B-note)/G chord, then up to an A-note/A chord and moving upwards happily in major second intervals. Many (but not all) Old Time versions (‘New Five Cents’, ‘Ruffled Drawers’ or ‘Buffalo Nickel’) tend to keep dipping down to the low D-note/D chord and use fewer chords than Bluegrass versions which are based on Paul Warren’s version.

Notes: Written by Doyle Lawson, recorded (more than once) by J. D. Crowe. The first break is an amalgam of the several different versions by Crowe. Although it is not note-for-note, it captures the feel of his breaks. The second break starts with a bit of a take-off on Jerry Douglas's dobro break (on the "Straight Ahead" CD), and then goes into an up-the-neck variation on the B part. The right hand in the high part is a bit tricky, involving using the middle finger on the second string in a kind of repetitive inside roll like this: 5-3-2-5-1-2-3-1

Notes: My 4yo daughter has one of those electric mini pianos. I wanted to impress her a bit with my playing and also to practice some transcription skills and thus decided to arrange her favourite preset tune for banjo. It seemed perfect for some melodic banjo as it clearly seemed to be a fiddle melody. It also seemed so familiar but I didn't know the name. I asked a colleague who is a first violinist for a symphony orchestra and he thought it was a Scottish dance but didn't know the name either. Try googling a melody... Anyway, I eventually found out that the tune was called "Sailor's Hornpipe" or "The College Hornpipe" and in fact is a very popular fiddle tune. I guess I should feel stupid for not knowing...

Notes: This is a traditional Finnish polka that I transcribed from the playing of a 10 year old Finnish accordionist on YouTube (traditionally this tune is played in Cm/Fm, but to fit well within the range of the banjo I have dropped the pitch by a minor third to Am/Dm) This is a great tune, with very easy guitar chords. The banjo is tuned to G minor tuning [GDGBbD] and played with the capo on the second fret. The first three parts are in A minor and the fourth part is in D minor. Have fun!!

Notes: The actual tuning is FDGCD (Sawmill with the 5th lowered to f). I play it capoed at 2 so if you do that your 5th string should be G. It is the tuning that a lot of us play Stoney Point in.

Notes: Most bluegrass banjo players are familiar with Earl Scruggs's arrangement of Sally Ann played up the neck. However, the tune is also quite amenable to breaks down the neck. I have tabbed some variations of a low break to Sally Ann that you may find useful.

Notes: Sally Goodin’ was recorded first by Eck Robertson, on fiddle, in 1922 and is a favorite in jams. My tab is not a reproduction of Earl Scruggs’s classic version on banjo, which BTW is very similar to Snuffy Jenkins’s earlier version. However, in the tab you will hear the influences of banjoists such as Earl Scruggs, Bill Keith, Alan Munde, and Butch Robins, as well as Byron Berline’s arrangement on fiddle. The tune is played in the key of A. The chord progression is simple: Although you could hold the I chord (A) throughout, it is typically played with a fast turnaround to the V chord (E), and I have tabbed it that way. I hear 3 parts to Sally Goodin’, although Berline’s version includes a fourth part, a transition to the relative minor (F#m) that I have not included here.

Notes: Aren't the lyrics to that other tune, "Sally in the garden, sifting sand"? Either someone had a sense of humour changing that to "assisting Sam", or some hearing problems. I suspect it's the former. My source for this is "The Old-Time Fiddler's Repertory", - 245 Traditional Tunes, Compiled and edited by R.P.Christeson. This is mountain minor tuning capoed up two frets to match the fiddle. It's a departure for me since I normally arrange Irish tunes so I can play them at sessions, but I love old-timey music too. I don't think I had to change much for the banjo other than notate in cut-time instead of 2/4. Oh, and here is a cool link with the fiddler playing the tune. http://slippery-hill.com/RP/008-Sally.mp3 Cheers!

Notes: This is an up the neck version of Salt Creek. The chords are the way that my band plays it. I've played it chorded other ways as well. The second part is basically scales in the chords with a sort of melodic run down on the last two measures. Lots of room for personalized changes in this version. Enjoy. Thanks.

Notes: My version of Salty Dog comprises two breaks, each with two parts. The first break is in pretty straight Scruggs style, with a down-the-neck and then an up-the-neck segment. The second break starts with a semi-melodic segment reminiscent of Allen Shelton's wonderful break on the recording of the song by Jim and Jesse, and the second segment incorporates elements (but is not a faithful copy) of Bill Keith's jaw-dropping break on his album "Living on the Mountain" with Jim Rooney, released in 1964 or thereabouts. If you haven't heard the album, you should grab a copy to hear marvelous banjoistics by a young Bill Keith. As to the melody of Salty Dog, you might ask what a C note is doing in an E chord. Perhaps the simplest answer is to think of E augmented. As to the perennial question "What is a salty dog anyway?", I will stay out of this one. Either it's a soft drink, or it's a pickled sausage, or it's something else altogether.

Notes: In Bela Fleck's Homespun video, he provides a tab for only the basic melody for Sammy's Blues. Then, he goes on to play 2 more improvised performances, telling the viewer to "just listen and take what you can" from these fancier licks that he would use if he were to actually perform the tune. This tab is for the 1st of the two performances. NOTE: The file is designed to be viewed at 4 bars per line, so you should expand the Tabledit window to achieve this. The patterns will stand out more clearly. Make sure the MIDI "Swing" setting is set to "1" to make the audio sound correct.

(Thumb, Index, Thumb, Index) when starting on the beat, or when starting a phrase before the bar line, with an even number of notes. Likewise, he almost exclusively uses the right hand pattern of "I T I..." when starting a phrase before the bar line, with an odd number of notes. I tried to notate this in the tab so it would be clear to the reader.

Notes: Sandy Boys is a great old-timey tune associated with the playing of a renowned fiddler from West Virginia, Edden Hammons. But its origins are probably in the minstrel shows of the 19th century. I became familiar with the tune from a tab that Don Borchelt posted on his web page (http://www.banjr.com/tablatures.htm) some time ago, and I have since encountered it in jams. The version I have posted here is very much for the bluegrass banjo, with both Scruggs-ish and melodic elements.

Notes: I tuned the banjo to double C tuning, and capoed the second fret for key of D. Then I brought the fifth string up to A . This is an easy arrangement because it's almost all thumb in and out, and is played at a moderate tempo. Hope you like it. Lynn

Notes: This is fairly close to Bill Keith's rendition of the tune, recorded with Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys in 1963. It is played at a nice moderate tempo, not too rushed. Neil Rosenberg and Charles Wolfe's discography of Monroe states that Monroe learned a version of the tune from an old-time fiddler who lived in southern Indiana/northern Kentucky. It is close to the tune "I Don't Love Nobody," and you can find versions of the latter in the BHO tab archive.

Notes: I worked this tune out on my own, but oddly enough it feels like it could be a real tune. I think it would be excellent for beginners since there is an easy-to-learn "walkdown" consisting of a forward/reverse roll and barre chords.

Notes: A guitar player friend of mine plays Shady Grove in Dm. I had worked out a version in Em that is similar to others posted here and had started working on a high break. I had an "Ah, hah!" moment when I realized that my high break used no open strings and didn't involve the 5th string. This arrangement, while pretty simple is totally moveable up and down the neck so you can play in Am, Bm, Cm, Dm, Em, etc. It's in Tabledit and pdf. I sometimes do a hammer-on as opposed to a slide for the first measure as it bluegrasses it up a bit. If that's too hard just start on 3rd string 7 fret.

Notes: The first song written by the famous Irish harpist Turlough O'Carolan (1670 - 1738), the translated title means Big Hill, Little Hill and the lyrics described a battle between two fairy groups. The composition was so remarkable that it began a lifetime as a successful bard in the days when harpists traveled from manor to manor, earning their living providing entertainment.

Notes: Here's an old pop tune & jazz standard from the 20's, the "Sheik Of Araby" ("The Sheik"). Makes a great banjo and "jam" tune, not too complicated a progression and not a difficult melody, though it sounds really cool. Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun!

Notes: This old swing standard really sounds good when played at an up tempo speed. It is from the playing of Bill Peck, a great banjo player in Los Angeles. I tabbed out his playing as best I could with his permission. Hope you enjoy playing it as much as I do. It is in the key of D played in G tuning with the 5th string tuned up to A. I also uploaded the Lead Sheet for the chords.

Notes: Also known as "Shenandoah Valley Breakdown," this is a classic instrumental by Bill Monroe. He recorded it with Bill Keith on banjo in 1963, the version most of us are familiar with. However, there is a radio tape of Monroe playing on the Opry Jamboree from December 1958, with Joe Drumright on banjo, and rumor has it that Monroe had to phone Drumright to play it over the phone to teach it to Keith just before they recorded it in 63. A concert tape from 1977 of the Blue Grass Boys with Bill Holden playing a marvelous version on banjo is also floating around. (Apparently by then Monroe had discarded his dictum that there can be only one guy named Bill in the BGB). My arrangement comprises three breaks and incorporates elements from these different players. The first break is loosely based on Bill Keith's recorded version with Monroe. The second break is a nifty melodic arrangement that is my version of the way Bill Holden played it. The third break is from a 1981 concert recording of Bill Keith, in which he introduced another outstanding take on the tune. Capo up 2 and play it in A.

Notes: Play it nice and lazy. Easy tune, so maybe you should sing along? Lyrics: Short life of trouble A few more words to part Short life of trouble, dear girl For a boy with a broken heart Remember what you promised Not more than a week ago You promised that you'd marry me Standing in your mama's door * Refrain Now you've gone and left me I don't know what I'll do I'd give this world and half of my life Just to be married to you * Refrain Now you've broken your promise Go marry whom you may In this old world so big and so wide I'll ramble back some day * Refrain My right foot's on the platform My left foot's on the train I'm leaving you and this lonesome old town To never return again

Notes: This is an easy version of Shouting in Jerusalem. Mike Seeger plays this on his True Vine album and he based hes playing on Josh Thomas. Mike plays on a gourd banjo tuned down to three steps to E: eBEG#B. I think Josh Thomas paled a resonator banjo in standard G tuning. This is a simple arrangement, to some part based on Mike Seeger, but to most part my own ideas how to play a simpified Shouting In Jerusalem.

Notes: A rollicking melody! This arrangement is a simple adaptation for 3 finger style banjo from the version played by Bruce Molsky, Aly Bain, Jerry Douglas, Phil Cunningham, Russ Barenberg et al at the 'Transatlantic Sessions 4' at Celtic Connections in Feb 2009. It has a mixture of single string and melodic styles. I hope you enjoy it!

Notes: This is the version of "Silver Bell" played by Bela Fleck on the album "Fiddle Tunes for Banjo". It is just the banjo part. There is a low first solo and then right into the 'up the neck' break and then back down to a slight variation of the first part again, and then a quick tag ending. Be sure to listen to the recording to get the tempo, chords and the overall feel of the song in the proper context.

Notes: Roland Swinton, a talented and highly seasoned Adirondack fiddler played this tune in D. It's a great tune.... and this arrangement is composed of mostly standard Scruggs rolls. Enjoy

Notes: Song by Jack Rhodes and Dick Reynolds. I first heard this tune thanks to an mp3 by BHO member 'Erbus'. I enjoyed it immensely and decided to try my hand at my own arrangement. I also added a backing track midi file that can be used to play along.

Notes: This is a simple backup technique for beginners. Alternate Thumb followed by a "pinch" using the Middle and Index fingers on first 2 strings. Alternately, you could follow thumb by pinching the 1st and 5th strings. This also works fairly well to accompany oneself singing easily.

Notes: This is a genuine "Tin Pan Alley" tune from 1913 by Percy Wenrich (pronounced WIN-rick) that works really well on the banjo. The II chord (A) provides a little spice in the A part, and the thumb gets more than the usual workout in the B part. I learned it in 1981 and I'm still partial to it. Warning: You'll like it better if you don't know the hokey words . . .

Notes: Sockeye is a wonderful banjo tune by Don Reno. I love its jubilant feel. I have tabbed two breaks. The first is a straightforward version of the tune that establishes the melody. Although it is by no means in Reno's inimitable style, it does include several licks reminiscent of his picking. The B part is built around a D lick from the playing of another of my favorite pickers, the great Don Stover. If you can grab this lick, you will find it useful in all sorts of tunes. The second break is considerably more interpretive, with some melodic and other elements. Pay particular attention to the timing of the D runs that involve melody notes on the higher strings with pivoting off the open fourth string.

Notes: I was messing around, playing fiddle tunes in the wrong keys, and I figured out that Soldier's Joy works very well in the key of "F". So here it is. Careful at jams :P Complete with Rhythm Guitar & Bass backup tracks. Uses a couple unorthodox techniques, such as "cross-picking" (crossing one right-hand finger over another) & dropping the middle finger inside. Have fun!

Notes: Based on the playing of John McEuen from the old Nitty Gritty Dirt Band album "Uncle Charlie and His Dog Teddy." This is just the opening line to the song but the remainder of the song can be done using a basic clawhammer 'bum-diddy' right-hand rhythm following the prescribed chord progression.

Notes: Here is a lovely straightforward version of the tune, played by the guy who wrote it, the noted songwriter Earl Scruggs. It is way less ornate than J. D. Crowe's versions (posted on BHO as well), and provides a nice contrast to J. D.'s take on the tune. If you want to learn to play Somehow Tonight, I suggest that you start with Earl's version and then move on to J. D.'s.

Notes: In my continuing quest to understand the genius of J. D. Crowe, I have tabbed two versions of one of his signature tunes, “Somehow Tonight,” written by Earl Scruggs – and who knew that the Scruggsmeister is a wordsmith? The first break is from Crowe’s recording with the Bluegrass Album Band (BGAB), the version most of us are familiar with. Note Crowe’s repeated use of multiple thumb strokes on the fourth string, a cardinal feature of his blues style. The second and third breaks are from Frank Godbey’s legendary recording of the New South at the Red Slipper Lounge of the Holiday Inn, Lexington KY, November 1974. I really prefer Crowe’s attack on this version of the tune. Note how his second break from 1974 ends with a blues riff that goes off in the ozone. I am not sure that I got it completely right, but it’s reasonably close.

Notes: Second String D-Tuner: High Stop: "C" Note Lower Stop: "B" Note Between the first break and the second break, you must quickly tune the second string down from a "C" note to a "B" note and leave it there for the duration of the second break. After the second break, quickly tune the second string from the "B" note back up to the "C" note. Because I could not figure out how to put all banjo breaks on one module, they are split between breaks. All breaks should be played by one banjo and see notes in the tab to understand how to play the song.

Notes: Here is a bluegrass arrangement of “Over the Rainbow,” often referred to as “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” I play it in the key of C, standard G tuning, although some versions I have heard (e.g., Eddie Shelton’s) are in the key of G. But I think C works better on the banjo. I am aware that there are alternate chord structures for this tune, particularly for the B part. This version works for me, but your mileage may vary, and feel free to come up with your own arrangement.

Notes: The source of this tune is "Old Time Kentucky Fiddle Tunes" by Jeff Todd Titon, number 154. This tune is clearly derived from Green Fields of America, but it has it's own charm too. It's a little crooked - for example 6 measures in the b-part) I've presented a bare-bones arrangement here that is pretty close to the fiddle transcription.(you should of course ornament to your taste) Exceptions are, there appears to be a typo in the last measure of the A part with a figure reproduced, that I removed, and I changed a double low "e" to an "e" plus high-g-drone, and I also found it fun to slide from the low e to the g instead of try some manoeuvre like an overly long reaching hammer-on, or an m-arpeggio. For the quarter notes in the first full measure, you can simply add the high-g drone, or you can actually play the notes as in Greenfields of America. Lot's of fun to play, cheers.

Notes: I couldn't find a clawhammer version of South Australia so between knowing the chords and finding the melody somewhere online in the key of C, I came up with this in D. Note that you should tune the 5th string to A for this to sound right. It's largely based around the melody and I'm pretty much a straight novice but the second half, or "Rolling king" part, is fun to play and I'm quite proud of it. I may re-upload once I figure out how to add lyrics in TablEdit. I welcome any and all questions, complaints, suggestions, comments, etc.

Notes: Played here on a cello banjo. This tune was composed in the 1970s by Brendan McGlinchey in a pub in Dublin while drinking coffee waiting for a flight to London after a two week trip around Ireland with friends had gone very badly. Here is a video of McGlinchey playing it first as and air and next as a reel: http://youtu.be/d9xnvijV7Y4

Notes: (Free PDF & TablEdit) Here is my arrangement of this old fiddle tune which is not very popular amongst Scruggs style banjo players. This is probably due to the fact that it's a bit tricky to play. The harmonic structure over the A chords implies an Em tonality which creates an interesting tension.

Notes: Here is a tune that has stuck with me for over ten years now, and is a staple for me when I play at Old folks homes and such. On the fiddle I treat it as a ballad style, and on the Tenor Banjo more of a dance tune. I have heard many Irish bands play this tune at "sub-light speed", and then again have heard fiddlers play it quite slowly and sweetly. Hope you enjoy AJ

Notes: I play this great John Hartford song with my band "The Grass Snakes" and this is a fairly accurate transcription of what I play. There's nothing very tricky here - a little bit of syncopation in the b part, but it's all quite attainable, with a bit of practice. A favourite song at my gigs and I hope you enjoy learning it!

Notes: This great tune has been recorded most notably by Alison Krauss and John Denver. But I have heard this tune played by many bluegrass groups over the years with the most recent being a local group we watched at a restaurant a few days ago. Here is one of my breaks for the Key of G.

Notes: SMT is a lovely tune employing Keith/Scruggs tuners. Walter Hensley wrote it and recorded it as Stoney Mountain Twist and Walt's Breakdown, and more recently J. D. Crowe recorded it as Stony (sic) Mountain Twist. The tab I have posted is more or less my own arrangement, not faithful to either Hensley's or Crowe's. For Part C, where you crank up your Keith tuners (twisters), I have tabbed it to show the melody notes without tuners, but I added the protocol for using Keith tuners above the tab. So you can still play it if you do not have Keith tuners, although it sounds much better with the tuners. (It was a real bear to get the timing accurate on Part C, by the way).

Notes: Straw Foot by 16horsepower/David Eugene Edwards. Based on David Eugene Edwards' solo performance found on youtube (link in tab). He plays a "thumb lead" style with index on bright D string and thumb for the rest. To get a feel of the song i suggest checking out youtube. It's really helpful in picking out small variations in the song, which I found too meticulous to put in the Tab. I haven't copyrighted the tab in any way, feel free to distribute, but be kind and put in a nice word for me if you do so ;) Enjoy!

Notes: Dock Boggs' "Sugar Baby", from his original 1927 recording. This was his first recording. Tuning is G-modal, though Dock uses it for the key of D. The guitar accompaniment is in D-major, which sounds really cool against the modal banjo melody. A very easy piece with only one short, simple roll. Literal tuning is f#C#F#BC#, which is G-modal (gDGCD) down a half-step.

Notes: Sushi is one of Kenny Baker's fiddle tunes, in 3 parts. It is fairly obscure, and as far as I know was recorded by Kenny only on a fiddle instruction video. I have tried to approximate the melody, for banjo, in a quasi-melodic arrangement.

Notes: Bill Emerson is one of the all-time greats on bluegrass banjo IMHO, and over the years he has written a bunch of memorable tunes. Perhaps his signature tune is Sweet Dixie, which he recorded when he was with Jimmy Martin in the 1960s. Emerson had written and recorded the tune earlier than that, however, and Martin’s name was included because he was the leader of the band. In any case, Sweet Dixie is a great driving piece that every bluegrass player should include in his or her repertoire. It is formed around a percussive series of pull-offs on the first string, and buddy it is effective. It’s normally played in the key of D; so capo up 2 and go to town.

Notes: This is an orginal by Alison Brown. I don't know if this is exactly the way she plays it, but it is note-for-note pretty much the same. A tricky finger buster this, but a terrific exercise to get your left hand moving around the fingerboard. If that wasn't enough, it is a delicious gentle tune that moves through several keys.

Notes: Feel free to add comments for this ROUGH draft. I tabbed this about 5 years ago and used to play it about 3/4 the speed that Vestal plays it on the bluegrass 2000 cd. As far as the key, I thought it was A but it might be Dmaj7-9. I'm a Scruggs picker but was so inclined to learn this song so I just messed with it a little. Scott uses a lot of technique on this song and his touch and timing are so good that it makes it a great song to listen to. I might try to play the version I tabbed to give some insight on what I translated and there are a couple of phrases I play a little different than the tab but it's about 99% of what I play now. part 1 Dmaj7-9, Dm7-9, G7, Fmaj7, Bb9#11(b5) Dmaj7-9, Dm7-9, G7, G/A part 2 Bm7 Cmaj7, C#m7, F#7, Bm7, E7sus, G/A

Notes: I have read that Obray plays a two figure style, but "Down Beside The Ohio" sounds closer to the recording when you use three finger rolls. I also love the way Obray just vamps on the verses allowing plenty of room for the vocal performance to shine through, and also allowing for the theme to used repetitively through out the song as solo breaks. I have just tabbed the intro, partly cos I only have a demo version of tab edit, and partly cos the instrumental breaks are just variations of this and he simply vamps the verses, using open G, D7 and C chords.

Notes: This tune has found its way into Irish traditional music circles, and I play it regularly with James Wickham (button accordion) at the Cryan's session in Carrick on Bannow, Co. Leitrim. James and I have moved it up to Em in a tune medley, followed by 'Ships are Sailing' and then a tune in D, depending, sometimes 'St. Anne's Reel' or 'The Maid Behind the Bar'. It always goes over well with the punters.

It is a sheet music book from a banjoist for other banjoists. These are the songs: Banjomania (Pete Madell), Bye Bye Blues (Traditional Jazz & Banjo Classic), I'll Get By (Turk & Ahlert), Marie (Irving Berlin), Pals, Just Pals (Dreyer & Ruby) & Take Your Pick (Pete Mandell). Here you have the chance to look inside the book and try to play an example page of "Take Your Pick". As always you have a CD with jazzy piano accompaniments for every song in three different speed levels. The perfect rhythm partner to play a long. Banjopower!

Notes: The web tells me that this traditional sounding tune is composed by and credited to Davey Arthur - Dublin born but now living in Edinburgh, Scotland. This TAB is my interpretation of the basic melody.

Notes: This is a Melodic version of how I hear the tune Tarantella by Antonio Calsolaro inspired by this thread: http://www.banjohangout.org/topic/328414, from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FlNBuS7YgM. It is pretty difficult, not sure I would classify it Expert, but it's definitely not Intermediate. Have fun with it.

Notes: Here is a popular Irish tune that enjoys remarkable popularity among Bluegrass & Old-time musicians as well, Temperance (Teetotaller's) Reel. Although a good portion of the tune is in E minor, both parts end on a G chord, thus follows that it is in G major. Not quite a straight-forward piece, as I strove to include some of the little fiddle "rolls" in the tune, consisting of very quick hammer-on & pull-offs, as well as some hammer-ons & pull-offs where the melody goes below the low G string. Melodic style, with a couple instances of single-string. Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun!

Notes: As best I can recall, I first heard this lovely traditional tune on Tony Rice’s initial solo album on Rounder Records (entitled “Tony Rice,” appropriately enough). There was no banjo break on the track – J. D., where were you? – and so I worked out a break that followed Rice’s chord structure (other versions may employ slightly different chords). I have posted the tab here. Note that the A part in the high break is shown in two flavors, one with a melodic twist and the other more single-string. Both are difficult, but, I hope, worth the effort.

Notes: A great Aubrey Haynie fiddle tune which is gaining a lot of popularity at the sessions in Devon. This is a near transcription [without the pyrotechnics at the end of the 2nd time round the A part] of Bela Fleck's banjo break on Haynie's original recording on the album "A Man Must Carry On". Note the subtle change of chords (and thus the melody) in the second time round the A part and that the B part only goes round once. It's in regular tuning with capo II. I hope you like it!

Notes: This is a an arrangement of one of Tom Turpin's six published rags. There is a recording made in 1906 by Vess Osman available in the Library of Congress National Jukebox. http://adp.library.ucsb.edu/index.php/matrix/detail/200004556/B-3049-The_Buffalo_rag It's written in classic banjo style an uses gCGBD tuning. It's also in standard notation as I don't use tab but I have added fret numbers in parts to make it easier to work out. I'll upload an mp3 or midi of this arrangement, I've used the piano voice as the electron banjo voice sounds pretty awful.

Notes: Here is my banjo version of the well known Mel Torme'/Bob Wells Christmas tune. I have now added the chords to the tablature, but you may prefer to substitute some of them. I rated it at expert because of a couple of tricky changes, but most of it is probably intermediate. Hope you like it.

Notes: This is my arrangement of my favorite Christmas tune, "The Christmas Song" by Mel Torme. The key is A flat (Ab hereafter), but it's not as bad as one might think. I discovered that if you drop the low D string down to a C, it sort of opens up the fretboard to the key of Ab. The low C note is the 3rd of Ab, and can be used as a drone. There are 2 G strings, which are the major 7th of Ab, and easily add a jazzy voicing to the Ab chord making it "Ab maj7". Also, the high G is a scale tone, so "melodic/Keith" style lines can still easily be played. The trickier part is in the 2nd section, where you have to play the melody and the bass line at the same time. The arrangement is meant to be played in a sort of ad lib style. This kind of timing was difficult to reproduce in TablEdit. It is reasonably close, but you can watch my video here on the Hangout to maybe get a little more realistic sense of the intended feel.

Notes: Steve Martin wrote this tune and it seemed to become immediately popular, even winning him a Grammy CD. Here is a clawhammer arrangement of his 3-finger picking. In the key of C, it goes to a Dm in the last part -- a simple, but interesting tune.

Notes: I would call the playing style melodic clawhammer. I didn't show the high drone. In Irish fiddle music there aren't a lot of places to add that, but in this piece just about every quarter note sounds good with an added high drone for variation. This one is fairly simple, beginner's should try to tackle it too. I will add a video sometime soon, but was anxious to share my tab with the world first. Enjoy!

Notes: In addition to being one of the all-time great bluegrass banjo players, Bill Emerson is a prolific composer. The Grey Ghost is one of his better known pieces, a nifty variation of the tune Dixie. TGG also employs a clever double-thumb technique, which as far as I know Emerson originated, to produce a delightful and rhythmic melodic sequence. You will first see it in measure 3, and it is worth studying. The tab is my version of TGG, inspired by but by no means note-for-note faithful to Emerson’s various versions -- he has recorded it at least 3 times that I know of. Note that the chord structure of the B Part in the second break changes a bit, which reflects the version of TGG on the 2011 album "Eclipse" by Bill Emerson.

Notes: A little bit of tricky right-hand fingering, but nothing to worry about. The tune is supposed to repeat into itself then start again in the key of "A" -- I've so far been unable to work out how to do that without stopping and whacking a capo on the second fret! Any imput/suggestions welcome!

Notes: This is from a Tim O'Brian song which was played as an instrumental by Bryan Sutton on one of his albums. It has a really interesting B part. I have included a guitar and harmony mandolin part with this arrangement, but have muted them in midi options, to clarify the banjo. I love this tune. Latterly it has been covered by The Infamous Stringdusters. Enjoy... Martin

Notes: A quirky tune off of one of Tony Trischka's early recordings. It can now be found on the compilation "The Early Years". This tune is in 7/4 time, with the rhythms mostly broken down as 123/1234. I got the guitar chords close and it will at least give you a clue as to how it might sound played with others. Definately listen to the recording!

Notes: This is a long-time favorite tune by Tom Paxton first recorded around 1964. I have played around with this song on the banjo in different keys over the years. While not an exact representation of the melody, I have always favored the D tuning banjo sound on this song. Hope you like it.

Notes: As played by Bobby Thompson in Bill Monroe's recording, capoed up to A. One could quibble, I suppose, with my interpretation of the B part beginning in measure 18, where I show the notes as played on a single string (third string second fret to third string open) as opposed to melodic style (fourth string seventh fret to third string open) to achieve the same sequence of notes. I don't know for sure which way Bobby Thompson played it, but I find the single-string approach to be easier to play.

Notes: This is my first full-length tab, so I'm sure it's in no way perfect. I used the youtube video where The Earls of Leicester are playing an a darkend room with a single lightbulb. Charlie has a couple variations in the video of them under a tree, notabily in m.9-11 and the ending. All the x's are open and very subtle. Charlie is an expert at bring out the melody notes and backing off the filler notes. There are others, but I just chose to include those marked. Feel free to message me with corrections!

Notes: Here's an old pop/jazz standard from the 40's (me thinks?), "The World Is Waiting For The Sunrise" arranged for — wait for it... — Twin Banjos! There are two breaks, on both breaks Banjo #1 plays the melody, and Banjo #2 does harmony. But on the first, the harmony part is a low harmony — Baritone banjo, if you will — and on the second, there's a high harmony, or "tenor" banjo (not the 4 string kind with 17 or 19 frets!). I would say that the melody part can be played admirably as a single banjo piece. If doing "The World Is Waiting For The Sunrise" as a duet, make sure you follow the tab *exactly* for the best possible sound. If you improvise a little, the banjos can clash. Hopefully this will also inspire more banjo duets with harmony. If you're feeling really bold, try getting your buddies to do lead, baritone, AND tenor — TRIPLE banjos! It does work, and sounds cool, although the melody gets buried in the harmony. The second Tabledit file has the Triple banjo parts. Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun!

Notes: The Wreck of the Old 97 in drop C tuning. There may be a few minor errors in the tab, this is an older tab of mine which I made before I'd fully gotten the hang of tabbing tunes. Still, a good version with an ending I learned from an anonymous banjo player that works well in the key of C, standard tuning as well as this drop-C version. The first repeat is the melody. The second is basically an alternate melody and banjo licks with very little semblance to the real melody.

Notes: Bill Emerson wrote and recorded Theme Time before he joined Jimmy Martin, and then he recorded it again while in Martin's band. It is a standard in jams. Jack Baker posted an excellent tab of TT in July 2014, as the TOTW. My tab provides some variations on the standard version and is the way I have played it for several decades.

Notes: This is the tablature for my banjo intro for the song "There'll Never Be Another You," which was co-written by me and my dad, and is on the 2014 Bluegrass Express project "In Our Own Words." I felt like this song could've been on the "Jim & Jesse Today" album, so I made use of some of my favorite Allen Shelton licks. "The Road Ends," which is the first single from the project, can be heard in my mp3 archive. The full album can be ordered at www.bluegrassexpressband.com.

A more complex version can be heard, along with midi file, and a backup version @ Mike Iverson's Free Tab page: http://www.bluesageband.com/Tabs.html. I have no idea which key he plays in, but it's in the standard G tuning and it sounds good in any key.

Notes: This is my melodic arrangement of a lovely tune by Russ Barenberg, which has recently been the theme tune for "The Transatlantic Sessions". It's a transcription of Russ Barenberg's initial guitar break, but due to the limited range of the banjo, it has to be played an octave higher. It's a trifle tricky in places and I have put the right hand fingering in the places where I feel one might struggle. This arrangement uses all of the neck, reaching the 19th fret in the B part. Very satisfying when it starts to flow! This tune is gaining a lot of popularity in the West Country (Devon & Cornwall) so let's get it out to the world to widen its appeal! Have fun! PS, it's in D and don't forget to spike the 5th to A!

Notes: Here is my take on a jaunty little tune that Bill Monroe wrote, or at least recorded, late in his career. The configuration of Monroe's version is AAB, and I have included several variations on each part just to show what can be done with the tune.

Notes: A nice fiddle tune in the melodic style from Sam and Alan. I think this is pretty close to Alan's version, but I worked it out so long ago that I no longer have any way to listen to it. My record player bit the dust ages ago. It starts off in the key of C, but switches to the key of G at the end.

Notes: "Trip To Rossaveel" is a jig I composed after my first trip to Ireland. I worked it out by flat-picking it on the guitar. Fitting it to the banjo didn't come very naturally at first, but it seems to sound much better after I tried double-c tuning, capoed at the 2nd fret. Very heavy jig rhythm, so MTM MTM or pull-offs and hammer-ons for the weak beats as is standard for clawhammered jigs on the banjo. I only marked the one place where there is an exception to that. Measures 9 and 10 require way up the fret-board playing to accommodate the mechanics of clawhammer. You finger-style players could probably come-up with a more natural way to play those measures. Hope you enjoy it, cheers!

Notes: This is basically Dock Boggs' version of Turkey in the Straw as played in his recordings he made in the 60s. If you play this to start you off, and then listen to the record to finish up the last little flourishes, you'll be on your way. I haven't put the fingering in, but I use all 3 fingers, mainly leading with the thumb and first finger. if you're stuck mail me on jerometurner77 at gmail.com

Notes: Turkey in the Straw is a traditional tune going back to minstrel days, when it had a racist title. It was one of the first tunes I worked out in melodic style, in 1963 or 1964. Hearing a tape of Bill Keith playing it helped me at that time to finalize my version, which owes a lot to him I am sure. It is a good tune from which to begin learning melodic style.

Notes: This is a nice old-time tune in A modal that I picked up from listening to Reed Martin's "Old Time Banjo" CD. This is a completely different tune than the tune by the same name in D major. While it is sometimes characterized as Mixolydian, it is actually a hexatonic tune, with only six, rather than seven notes in the scale. It is missing the third degree of the scale, the note which- depending on whether it were a major or minor third- would allow it to be properly characterized as either Dorian or Mixolydian. Old time tunes are often modally ambiguous for lots of reasons, one of which, like here, is that there are not enough notes to tell. This tune is probably related to the old ballad about jealousy and murder which sometimes has the same name. The banjo is tuned gDGAD, capoed on 2.

Notes: This is my first attempt, just for fun, to arrange a whole bluegrass song, including the lead melody and tenor harmony. Unfortunately, TablEdit doesn't have a voice synthesiser, so I have used midi sounds to replace the voice. I entered the melody notes for the voice and tenor harmony as banjo tab. The instruments are guitar, banjo and bass. I have loosely based the arrangement on the Country Gentlemen's version, although I don't know how to inject their level of drive and energy. Also I haven't included mandolin and dobro or attempted to copy Eddie Adcock's inspired backup! (Someone else is welcome to have a go at that.) Instead I opted for some vamping the first time round and then some simple forward and forward-reverse rolls the second time. Note that if you should ever want to print all of this out, it runs to lots of pages. So it is better to print out one instrument/voice at a time using the TablEdit Print Set Up menu on the Multi-Track tab. I have pitched the song in G, although the CGs do it in B (I think). However, with TablEdit, it is easy to transpose into higher keys if required.

Notes: Here is an old Austrian March-turned-country instrumental, "Under The Double Eagle", arranged for Banjo solo (with accompaniment). I have included all the original parts (to my knowledge) in this version, with an intro and 4 parts. The intro and first 2 parts are in C, the 3rd part is in F, and the 4th part is in Bb, ending with a repeat of the 2nd part (in C). This is arranged in a Reno style, although not a tablature of his playing of the tune (which he did admirably!). It's fairly difficult, as one would expect with the key changes. Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun!

Notes: I just worked up a simple CH tab.... along the lines of the way I play it. The only real embellishments I've added are where I hammer on into the melody note on the first beat of some of the measures. For note... on the first beat and third beat of each measure where I only show a single note being played, I am actually either hammering down into the whole chord or already holding the whole chord down. As to the note on the third beat of each measure you may also wish to modulate up, down, or stay on the same note as the first note of that same measure... to suit your taste and depending on whether you are leaving the anticipation of leading into the next passage, or providing closure to the passage you are in.

Notes: Transcribed from Impedo's post on the Fiddle Hangout. I simplified the triplets, and even then the swing rhythm can be tough to get down in some places. Just listen to the OCMS version, slowed down if necessary.

Notes: Standard tuning for Fiddle Intro of Wagon Wheel, bit more complicated than the EBGDG tuning. Update: Download the MIDI and import it onto tabledit. The notes will be a bit messed up, and notated hammer ons and pull offs will also be missing.

Notes: Tuned To EBGDG. (Easier to play with that tuning, I'll also upload a standard tuning version) Some of the timing isn't smooth, but you'll be able to figure out how to adjust that by listening to the actual song. Feel free to improve on this tab! Fully Updated for your convenience!

Notes: Another short tune I wrote, this one is also in Cumberland Gap tuning, a Sawmill tuning variation (gEADE). Its Sawmill with a capo on the second fret, but the fifth string stays at 'g'. There is a little bit of 'drop-thumb', but its a pretty simple little tune, sad but sweet. There is a video of me playing it if you want to hear it. Enjoy.

Highly recommend you listen closely to the video to really capture the way he plays it. He has a great way of accenting the syncopated notes that make this version come alive.

Notes: A much better version of Washington & Lee Swing than my last, which had a lot of mistakes in it. This one is a completely banjo version, with 4 breaks, the last being a slight variation on the first. It does NOT include the second part, which is a throw-over from Don Reno's recordings of the tune (my inspiration) in which the key changes to G and the fiddle does the second part. It is in the key of C, standard G tuning. Has some funky rolls that I like to throw in there just to mess up banjo players and to make listeners say "huh?". I've always felt the timing in this tune had to be especially accurate to get it to sound good, so make sure you listen to one of Don Reno's recordings of it, as well as a jazz/western swing or marching band take on it. Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun

Notes: My first attempt at Grandpa Jones "Down the old Plank Road" which I play along with often. This is a beginner version which can be improvised to include a lot more strumming rather than single note as noted. Lyrics included. For the chorus I use a long 2-4 slide on the 3rd string to for the word "Won't". Grandpa played in key of A, so capo 2 to match, and play around with the strumming. Grandpa Jones version can be heard @: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi1tkL1ML4Q

Notes: A tab of David Eugene Edwards style of playing wayfaring stranger, based on a video of him playing it on youtube (link in tab). I've just made a straight-forward tab, and to make it simpler/smaller, I've just tabbed one variation of the verse, and used it throughout the song. In the video David plays it a little different each verse, as usual. I would recommend listening to his version of the song to find variations that you might want to use when playing this yourself. It might seem like a lot of stuff is going on in the tab since I've put in a few "ghost notes". This is just to hint that you don't have to play it note by note like a scholar. David plays a kind of two-finger thumb-lead, and the thumb brushes nearby strings now and again :) As usual it sounds quite rigid in guitar pro, but should come out fairly accurate on the banjo. Let me know if you like it or not, any feedback is welcome, feel free to comment!

Notes: Really pretty much beginner standard, apart from the brush-skips and chords. Not an easy key for most folk to sing in. The last 3 and a half bars are a bridge or coda, and not part of the original tune.

Notes: 'Waynesboro' is a West Virginia favorite that is attributed to the Hammons family. It is originally an Irish tune named 'Over the moor to Maggie'. The dots are in Portland Collection vol 1. I play it here on a Ramsey standard banjo.

Notes: Here is another great old country tune that works extremely well in bluegrass. The only recorded version I know of is Earl Taylor's, although there is a concert tape floating around of J. D. Crowe playing the song. It should be played at a moderate tempo, which facilitates playing the final measures in the second break, where I have indicated the right hand fingering. The blues run involves several notes played sequentially with the thumb. If you can't do this, alternate thumb and index finger. The third break is based on the aforementioned version by Crowe.

Notes: A simplified tab of "We Three Kings", a classic traditional Christmas song written in 1857 and published in 1863. A haunting melody, in standard G tuning and played in the Key of E minor. The 1st pages of this tab is a basic melody key, and the 2nd page is my clawhammer interpretation in 3/4 time. I've substitued D7 for the D chord since it is easier to transition from E minor to D7. Basically, the E minor chord is fretted at the D strings fretted at 2, and to make the B chord, just slide the E minor chord down to the 4th fret, and back again to E minor at the 2nd fret. I've provided alternate D measures, but there's little difference between the abbreviated D chord and D7 chord, and the D7 is a lot easier. Linked to Beginner Clawhammer, Clawhammer Gospel and Christmas Corner (It fits all 3). Lyrics and history links provided.

Notes: When the Springtime Comes Again is also known as Little Annie, and it is a fine tune popularized by the Carter Family. I first heard it played by Vern Williams, who knocked my socks off with his high tenor. I have tabbed two breaks. The first is the way I play it today, the second is closer to the way I played it 20 years ago in my band Cedar Creek in Victoria, B.C.

Notes: In this version of Whiskey I tried to use as many Scruggs and Dillard rolls as possible to help the song drive harder for me...I don't have the same dexterity in my hands that I did when I was younger pup , so I try to compensate for it. I guess it's what I like to call banjoistic liberties or for lack of another word, CHEATING................................... LoL.... hope you like it........Lynn Williams

Notes: Like several other tunes in the key of D -- for example, Liberty, Arkansas Traveler -- you can play Whiskey in standard G tuning. Here's my version, with variations. Incidentally, in Canada it's spelled "whisky." Go figure.

Notes: Whistling Girl by Woven Hand (David Eugene Edwards) Based on the live performances found on youtube, and so differs a bit from the original album track. The song is originally played with a pick (on the 5string "wooden banjo thing" David uses) but it is no problem picking it with two finger style in the pattern t,t,i,t,t,i,t,i each bar. Happy Picking! :D

Notes: Notice all the syncopation in this old cakewalk. I tabbed this for bluegrass banjo players who are looking for new and interesting tunes. Actually, this one dates from 1899. It's Scruggsy but also combines melodic and single-string playing. I will soon tab another version with the C-Part (rare).

Notes: Here is Crowe's take on the Flatt and Scruggs chestnut, recorded in 1975 for Rounder 0044 "J. D. Crowe and the New South" but not released until Cracker Barrell's re-release in 2002. The first (low) break is one of the greatest IMHO, in which Crowe "plays the words." The second (high) break is more improvisational. Both are full of goodies.

Notes: Here is Earl Scruggs' solo for "Why Don't You Tell Me So?", from Flatt & Scruggs' Mercury sessions. It is note for note, unless I made a mistake ;) The walking bass line is actually taken from the vocal break, not the banjo break, but I like the sound. The guitar part is not taken from Lester in any way; that's the way I play in an E position (capoed up 1) on the guitar with a thumb and finger. One of the classic banjo solos of all time, in my opinion. Have fun!

Notes: I heard this version of this song on a youtube video and I like it a lot more than the standard version I have heard elsewhere. My son and I tabbed this version. I have been playing clawhammer style for about three days and have never tabbed anything before, so I can guarantee nothing. I hope that you all enjoy this version of this song. The recording of this version is done by a group called Reed Island Rounders.

Notes: A bluegrass classic, written by Lester Flatt and first recorded by him with Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys (including, of course, Earl Scruggs). I pulled the first break off a radio recording of Flatt and Scruggs from 1957. The beginning is a bit uncertain, because the announcer speaks over the banjo intro, but I think I got it. The second break is more improvisational, including a Keith-ish melodic sequence, and the third break is a variation on the Scruggs approach and sticks to the melody. This was perhaps the first tune I worked out on my own, in the early 1960s, back before there were personal computers, HD tv, or Lindsay Lohan.

Notes: I first learned this tune in September 2003 from a tab in the Banjo Newsletter. I have not had a copy of that tab since 2003 and it is not available in the BNL tab archive. The BNL tab was written by Hugh Strawn. It is not available on Hugh's web site, either. I am certain that my playing of the tune has changed over the years, but I can't say how or how much. I uploaded a video to the Hangout and got a request for a tab. This is pretty much how I play the tune.

Notes: written by Scott Vestal, tabbed by Doug Knecht This to me is a really groovin' tune, but it is difficult for me too. I haven't captured half the nuances that Scott puts in his recording on the LiveWire CD. This is just the first solo as I can play it, and not the 2nd or 3rd solo because I think Scott would have to tab those out. Good luck on a really cool tune!

Notes: This is my tab for John Hartford's magical song With A Vamp In The Middle. I think it is important to stress that this is one of those tunes where the banjo interacts heavily with the other instruments. Played on it's own as a solo it sounds strange, but in combination with guitar, fiddle and dobro it springs to life.

Notes: Tabbed at the request of one of my students. There are two versions here. I forget why I put the asterix in there, but it probably indicates that these two lines are almost the same thing, just found at different places on the fingerboard.

Notes: In memory of Earl Scruggs, here is one of my favorites of Scruggs's breaks. If you pay attention to the nuances of the right hand patterns, you will see that Scruggs did not approach picking patterns in a formulaic way. He played the melody notes and found rhythm notes to flesh out the melody, without being strictly tied to the rolls that so many of us learned from his recordings.

Notes: I presume Roger Sprung has used a dropped C-tuning gCGBD, in spite of the fact, that the lowered D-string ist not plucked at all. But even when not played the string rings and gives the tune the special drive.

Notes: This is a clawhammer version of Beatles' Yesterday. It should be played rather fast, but softly and sweetly without drive. The arrangement contains some drop thumbs and Alternate String Pull Off, but these can be skipped if you think it too advanced.

Notes: This famous country song by Oliver Hood was first recorded in 1939. The next year Jimmie Davis, later governor of Louisiana, waxed it, and was followed by Bing Crosby and Gene Autry, who made it famous. I arranged and performed this version for the wedding of novelist T Cooper, who requested the song for the processional. The usual key for the tune is C. - Glenn Weiser www.celticguitarmusic.com

Notes: Earl Scruggs and Cousin Jake played this ragtime classic as a duet between the banjo and bass fiddle. The first break is similar to the way Earl recorded it, in the Carnegie Hall concert; the second is not.

DOWNLOAD: PDF  
Notes: This is a transcription of the Flatt & Scruggs recording of the song as heard on "At Carnegie Hall". I transcribed this because it was the slowest banjo playing I ever heard from Earl Scruggs and I wanted to practice some ear skills. The banjo intro and the two breaks are almost identical, so it really just is eight or nine measures worth of music. I guess I need to find a better way to typeset the bend in the sixth measure. The E note on the 4th string doesn't go up all the way to the F note, it really just is some quarter note bend. In some places I guess I haven't really got the rhythm right, especially the lick in measure 3 of the banjo break. Make sure to listen to the original a lot and play it as you hear it. Generally the whole piece has a very strong bounce to it, i.e. the first one of a pair of eighth notes is always longer than the second one.

Notes: This is a wonderful traditional eastern European Jewish tune which I arranged for banjo. This is one of those tunes you can get lost in and play until the strings on your banjo wear out. I think my arrangement works rather nicely on a Open G tuned banjo. Be forewarned, however, I am one of the worst banjo players on the planet so if you just want to hear the tune I suggest playing the MIDI as I played (assuming we can call it “playing”) the MP3 on my favorite banjo. Enjoy.

Notes: This banjo arrangement is based on the bouzouki playing by Mikis Theodorakis' original version in the film, and is more or less a straight transcription. I have added a simple guitar accompaniment.
